The Association Between Nursing Home Information Technology Maturity and Urinary Tract Infection Among Long-Term Residents.
Article in Journal of applied gerontology : the official journal of the Southern Gerontological Society, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Urinary tract infections (UTIs) are the most common infections among nursing home (NH) residents. Antibiotics are often misused when a UTI is suspected. Using sophisticated information technology (IT) could help in appropriate UTI prevention, diagnosis, and treatment. This repeated cross-sectional study explored relationships between IT maturity and UTI prevalence among long-stay NH residents. Data were from (1) four annual surveys 2013-2017 measuring IT maturity in a random sample of Medicare-certified NHs, (2) Minimum Data Set assessments for resident characteristics, and (3) Certification and Survey Provider Enhanced Reporting data for facility characteristics. In multivariate regressions using NH fixed effects, controlling for resident and NH characteristics, Administrative IT maturity in NHs was associated with decreased odds of UTI (AOR: 0.906, 95% CI: 0.843, 0.973). These results were robust in all sensitivity analyses. Using IT to relieve administrative burden may decrease UTIs.
