Racial Differences in Urinary Catheter Use Among Female Nursing Home Residents.
Article in Urology, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. 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
objectiveTo assess racial differences in prevalence of indwelling urinary catheterization and intermittent catheterization among female NH residents in the United States (US).
methodsWe performed a cross-sectional analysis using the 2019 Minimum Data Set 3.0 and developed a multivariable logistic regression model to examine the association between catheter use and race. Moderation analyses were performed to clarify significant associations.
resultsOur study cohort was composed of 597,966 women, who were predominantly of White race with a median age of 80 years. Eight percent (n=47,799) of female residents had indwelling catheters, and 0.5% (n=2,876) used intermittent catheterization. Black residents had a 7% lower odds of having an indwelling catheter (aOR 0.93, 95% CI 0.90-0.96), and a 38% lower odds of utilizing intermittent catheterization (aOR 0.62, 95% CI 0.54-0.71) compared to White residents when controlling for common factors associated with catheter use. In moderation analyses, Black residents with age under 80 years and BMI of 35 kg/m
conclusionRacial differences in both indwelling and intermittent catheterization prevalence exist in female NH residents. These disparities should be further clarified to reduce bias in NH care.
