Factors associated with long-term urinary catheterisation and its impact on urinary tract infection among older people in the community: a population-based observational study in a city in Japan.
Observational study in BMJ open, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 14 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
objectivesThis study aimed to identify factors associated with long-term urinary catheterisation (LTUC) in community-dwelling older adults and to evaluate the risk of urinary tract infection (UTI) among people with LTUC.
designPopulation-based observational study.
settingMedical and long-term care insurance claims data from one municipality in Japan.
participantsPeople aged ≥75 years living at home who used medical services between October 2012 and September 2013 (n=32 617). OUTCOME MEASURES: (1) Use of LTUC, defined as urinary catheterisation for at least two consecutive months, to identify factors associated with LTUC and (2) the incidence of UTI, defined as a recorded diagnosis of UTI and prescription of antibiotics, in people with and without LTUC.
resultsThe 1-year prevalence of LTUC was 0.44% (143/32 617). Multivariable logistic regression analysis showed that the male sex, older age, higher comorbidity score, previous history of hospitalisation with in-hospital use of urinary catheters and high long-term care need level were independently associated with LTUC. The incidence rate of UTI was 33.8 and 4.7 per 100 person-years in people with and without LTUC, respectively. According to multivariable Poisson regression analysis, LTUC was independently associated with UTI (adjusted rate ratio 2.58, 95% CI 1.68 to 3.96). Propensity score-matched analysis yielded a similar result (rate ratio 2.41, 95% CI 1.45 to 4.00).
conclusionsWe identified several factors associated with LTUC in the community, and LTUC was independently associated with the incidence of UTI.
