Managing ESBL-producing Enterobacteriaceae-related urinary tract infection in primary care: a tool kit for general practitioners.
Article in European journal of clinical microbiology & infectious diseases : official publication of the European Society of Clinical Microbiology, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
In Southern France, approximately 4% of E. coli isolates from community-acquired urinary tract infections are extended spectrum beta-lactamase producers, while carriage rates for enterobacteriaceae (ESBL-E) range from 3 to 6%. General practitioners (GP) are unfamiliar with the management of patients harboring ESBL-E. Providing them with a specific tool kit should assist in their therapeutic approach and optimize antimicrobial prescription an ESBL-E tool kit was developed by a multidisciplinary team: infectious diseases (ID) specialists, microbiologists, pharmacologists, and nursing home staff. This tool kit includes treatment protocols, GP and patient information leaflets, a list of infection control measures, and contact details of ID physicians for specialized advice. A community-based (including nursing homes) prospective study was conducted in 2012 in Southeastern France to test the tool kit in the context of ESBL-E-related urinary tract infections (UTI). ESBL-E-related UTI were identified in 88 patients, 66 GPs were contacted by the microbiology laboratory, 56 stated they were offered the tool kit, 48 said they had received it, and 41 stated they had read its contents. Use of the tool kit was significantly correlated with appropriate antibiotic prescription, which concerned 36/39 tool kit users versus 13/20 non-users (p = 0.0125) and 40 GPs expressed an average satisfaction rate of 4.2 on a scale of 0 to 5. Availability of a specific tool for managing patients harboring ESBL-E, now completed with a website, can assist community-based GPs and improve antimicrobial prescription.
