Frailty associated urinary tract infections (FaUTIs).
Review in Journal of frailty, sarcopenia and falls, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 12 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 summarizes the current literature on the correlation between frailty and urinary tract infections (UTIs), as well as the potential causes and measures that can be taken to prevent and treat these frailty associated UTIs (FaUTIs). A narrative review of the literature was carried out using the keywords and other associated terms (catheter associated UTIs and frailty, causes of UTIs, prevention of UTIs in the frail, treatment of UTIs in the frail). As it is shown in the literature, many risk factors that are associated with frailty such as dehydration, reduced mobility and cognitive impairment, as well as other anatomical or functional abnormalities can make frail patients prone to UTIs that are also more difficult to treat. Early correction of these risk factors (for example avoiding long term catheters, increasing hydration, treating lower urinary tract obstruction or incontinence), can prevent UTIs and improve the quality of life of frail patients. Prompt and individualized antimicrobial treatment of UTIs in the frail population can result in decreasing mortality rates but also minimize unnecessary antimicrobial drug use.
