An Investigation of the Male Genitourinary Abscess Originated from Urinary Tract in a Tertiary Hospital, Shanghai, China, from 2004 to 2019.

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
backgroundMale genitourinary abscess is one of the serious complications of urinary tract infections (UTIs). There were few researches on the clinical and pathogenic characteristics of male genitourinary abscess. PATIENTS AND
methodsA retrospective observational study was conducted between January 2004 and April 2019. Male patients with genitourinary abscess originated from urinary tract, including sites of scrotum, testis, epididymis, spermatic cord, and prostate, were enrolled. Clinical and microbial records were collected and analyzed, and antimicrobial susceptibility testings were performed according to CLSI standard. Whole-genome sequencing was applied to detect the β-lactamase genes and virulence genes, as well as to determine the multilocus-sequence typing (MLST) of the collected
resultsA total of 22 male patients were included. The main clinical symptoms were fever (86.4%), scrotal swelling (68.2%), local skin warmth (59.1%) and ulceration (45.5%). Urinary irritation was often presented in prostate involved abscess. Ultrasound features had a 94.7% positive rate. Surgical treatment, including abscess drainage, was helpful to the prognosis. No matter where the specimens obtained from, including blood, urine or pus, multidrug-resistant
conclusionIt seemed that more patients under 35 years old were vulnerable to genitourinary abscess. There was an increasing trend that multidrug-resistant
