Modeling the risk of fluoroquinolone resistance in non-severe community-onset pyelonephritis.
Article in European journal of clinical microbiology & infectious diseases : official publication of the European Society of Clinical Microbiology, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.
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
Estimating whether the individual probability of being infected by a fluoroquinolone resistant isolate is higher than 10% may help to choose the empirical treatment of pyelonephritis. We aimed to model the risk of fluoroquinolone resistance in women with community-onset pyelonephritis. Women with non-severe community-onset pyelonephritis were prospectively recruited in 4 French emergency departments of 2 districts. Adjusted odds ratios (aOR) and 95% confidence intervals were estimated through multivariate logistic regression. Among 190 patients, 19 (10%) were infected by a fluoroquinolone resistant isolate. Fluoroquinolone resistance was more frequent in district #2 (17%) than in district #1 (3%). Independent risk factors for fluoroquinolone resistance were district (adjusted OR, 7.0 (2.2-31.9)), and in the 6 previous months, urinary tract infection (UTI, aOR, 3.9 (1.3-11.5)) and vesical catheterization (aOR, 4.7 (0.5-33.3)). A specific model was derived to identify district #2 patients with a low (10% or lower) probability of being infected by a fluoroquinolone resistant isolate. Independent risk factors were residency in long-term care facility (aOR, 3.3 (0.7-13.5)), and in the 6 previous months, UTI (adjusted OR, 3.1 (0.9-10.7)) and home nursing care (aOR, 3.4 (0.6-17.0)). For 63 (67%) patients, the predicted probability of fluoroquinolone resistance was 0.10; among these patients, 6 (10%) actually had a fluoroquinolone resistant isolate. Locally derived predictive models may be used to identify patients with a low probability of fluoroquinolone resistance and guide the empirical antimicrobial therapy of non-severe community-onset pyelonephritis.
