UF-5000 flow cytometer: A new technology to support microbiologists' interpretation of suspected urinary tract infections.
Article in MicrobiologyOpen, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 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 case study aims to describe the adoption of an innovative flow cytometer (i.e., UF-5000), which can support the microbiologists' process of diagnosing suspected urinary tract infections (UTIs). The new clinical information provided can be used to improve the identification of both contamination and colonization, thus reducing inappropriate antibiotic prescriptions. In July and August 2017, the Microbiology Laboratory of Alessandria (Italy) conducted a retrospective monocentric study analyzing data about 1,295 urine specimens from inpatients and outpatients with symptoms of UTIs. The results of this study show that the innovative technology can successfully support the diagnostic process in microbiology laboratories and, consequently, the supply of sustainable treatments by hospitals.
