Changes in Serum CRP and PCT Levels in Patients with Acute Simple Lower Urinary Tract Infection and Evaluation of the Efficacy of Treatment with Shuangdong Capsules.
Article in Emergency medicine international, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It has been retracted, and should not be counted. Cited by 3 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
Objective: The aim of this study is to investigate the changes and significance of serum C-reactive protein (CRP) and procalcitonin (PCT) levels in patients with acute simple lower urinary tract infection (ALUTI) and to analyze the efficacy of treatment with Shuangdong capsules, so as to provide a basis for the rational clinical application of drugs. Methods: 92 patients with ALUTI (observation group) were randomly divided into 46 cases each in group A and group B. Group A was treated with basic anti-infective drugs, while group B was treated with Shuangdong capsules, and the duration of treatment in both groups was 14 days. The curative effect of the two groups was analyzed, and the changes in serum PCT and CRP levels were compared before and after treatment and compared with 40 healthy people in the control group. Results: The serum PCT and CRP levels, the number of urinary leukocyte count (LEU), and the number of urinary bacterial count (BACT) were significantly higher in Group A and Group B than in the healthy control group before treatment ( Conclusion: The Shuangdong capsule combined with conventional antibacterial drugs has better clinical efficacy in the treatment of acute simple lower urinary tract infection; serum CRP and PCT levels in patients with acute simple lower urinary tract infection can be used as indicators for diagnosis and efficacy determination of the infection.
