Catheter-associated urinary tract infections in persons with neurogenic bladders.
Review in The journal of spinal cord medicine, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 23 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
This review is based on the author's Donald Munro Lecture given at the annual conference of the Academy of Spinal Cord Injury Professionals in New Orleans, LA. Indwelling catheters play an important role in bladder management following SCI for many individuals with neurogenic bladders. There is an increased risk of UTI compared to other types of bladder management with indwelling urethral catheters but not SP catheters. To minimize the risk of symptomatic UTI, the following steps are essential: prevent bladder wall distention and resulting ischemia, maintain colonization with "good" bacteria, and prevent bladder stones. For individuals with recurrent symptomatic UTIs, try to change the environment, prevent bladder over distention, and make sure the bladder is "quiet" by using strategies such as adequate dosages of anticholinergics, onabotulinum toxin A, and preventing catheter blockage. Bacterial colonization of the bladder is common. However, bacterial colonization may have a positive effect by inhibition of colonization of pathogenic bacteria. Judicious use of antibiotics is important since antibiotics hasten the evolution of more resistant organisms. Potential prevention and treatment strategies include killing the offending organisms, changing the environment (such as urinary acidification), and modifying virulence factors and the bacterial microbiome.
