1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

backgroundPublished studies on community-acquired urinary tract infections (UTI) often do not link microbiological findings with clinical risk factors and patient data. MATERIALS AND

methodsWe retrospectively correlated clinical findings of all patients with UTI of a urological outpatient clinic with the respective microbiological analysis of their urine samples over 2 periods of time: (A: 2005-2006 and B: 2011-2012). Patients were stratified to the following risk groups: uncomplicated cystitis, diabetes mellitus type 2, nursing home resident, prostatitis/epidydimitis, permanent catheter.

resultsThe incidence of Escherichia coli (p < 0.001) and proteus (p < 0.001) significantly decreased from period A to B, while enterococci (p = 0.003) and staphylococci (p < 0.001) significantly increased. Antibiotic sensitivity to fosfomycin (p < 0.001), doxycycline (p < 0.001), nitrofurantoin (p < 0.001), and nitroxoline increased (p < 0. 001) and sensitivity to amoxicillin (p < 0.001) and gentamicin decreased (p < 0.001). Patients with a permanent catheter had significantly poorer sensitivity rates (50% and less) for almost all antibiotics tested compared to the overall group. The risk of a UTI with 3MRGN or MRSA bacteria was significantly higher for catheter carriers and nursing home residents.

conclusionsEmpiric antibiotic first-line therapy with nitrofurantoin and fosfomycin for uncomplicated community acquired UTIs are well indicated in conformity with guidelines. The accumulation of multiresistant pathogens in patients with a permanent bladder catheter requires restrictive use of any permanent catheter drainage.
