1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

introductionUrinary tract infections (UTIs) are common infections for which initial antibiotic treatment decisions are empirically based, often without antibiotic susceptibility testing to evaluate resistance, increasing the risk of inappropriate therapy. We hypothesized that models based on electronic health records (EHR) could assist in the identification of patients at higher risk for antibiotic-resistant UTIs and help guide the selection of antimicrobials in hospital and clinic settings.

methodsEHR from multiple centers in North-Central Florida, including patient demographics, previous diagnoses, prescriptions, and antibiotic susceptibility tests, were obtained for 9990 patients diagnosed with a UTI during 2011-2019. Decision trees, boosted logistic regression (BLR), and random forest models were developed to predict resistance to common antibiotics used for UTI management [sulfamethoxazole-trimethoprim (SXT), nitrofurantoin (NIT), ciprofloxacin (CIP)] and multidrug resistance (MDR).

resultsThere were 6307 (63.1%) individuals with a UTI caused by a resistant microorganism. Overall, the population was majority female, white, non-Hispanic, and older aged (mean = 60.7 years). The BLR models yielded the highest discriminative ability, as measured by the out-of-bag area under the receiver-operating curve (AUROC), for the resistance outcomes [AUROC = 0.58 (SXT), 0.62 (NIT), 0.64 (CIP), and 0.66 (MDR)]. Variables in the best performing model were sex, history of UTIs, catheterization, renal disease, dementia, hemiplegia/paraplegia, and hypertension.

conclusionsThe discriminative ability of the prediction models was moderate. Nonetheless, these models based solely on EHR demonstrate utility for the identification of patients at higher risk for resistant infections. These models, in turn, may help guide clinical decision-making on the ordering of urine cultures and decisions regarding empiric therapy for these patients.
