Urinary Tract Infections After Kidney Transplantation: A Risk Factor Analysis of 417 Patients.
Article in Annals of transplantation, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 17 papers.
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.
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
BACKGROUND The aim of this study was to evaluate the number of urinary tract infections (UTI) that occur after kidney transplantation (KT) and to identify possible risk factors for development of a UTI. MATERIAL AND METHODS We retrospectively analyzed all KTs performed between January 2012 and December 2013 in the Erasmus University Medical Center, Rotterdam. UTI was scored if: (1) a patient had a urine culture with no more than 2 species of microorganisms, (2) at least 1 of which was a bacterium of ≥10^5 CFU/mL, (3) which was treated with antibiotics, and (4) which occurred within 3 months after KT. RESULTS A total of 417 patients were transplanted from January 2012 until December 2013. A UTI developed in 115 (28%), after a median of 13 days from transplantation (range: 3-82 days). The most common causative agent was Escherichia coli, followed by Enterococcus faecalis, Enterococcus faecium, and Klebsiella pneumoniae. The variables that were independently related to a UTI were female gender (OR 3.58, 95%CI 2.16-5.91), recipients age >60 y (OR 2.12, 95%CI 1.28-3.48), percutaneous nephrostomy placements (OR 6.29, 95%CI 3.35-11.85), and surgical re-interventions (OR 2.12, 95%CI 1.04-4.32). Mean glomerular filtration rate was significantly lower in the group of patients with a UTI at 3, 6, 9, and 12 months postoperatively compared to those patients who did not have a UTI. CONCLUSIONS We conclude that a UTI after KT is a common problem. We identified independent risk factors for the development of a UTI. UTI is associated with a GFR decrease postoperatively.
