Similarities in Bacterial Uropathogens and Their Antimicrobial Susceptibility Profile in Diabetics and Their Non-Diabetic Caregivers at a National Diabetes Management and Research Centre, Accra-Ghana.
Article in Diseases (Basel, Switzerland), 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
backgroundDiabetes mellitus has some damaging effects on the genitourinary system and has been found to have adverse effects on the host immune system, resulting in higher risk of infections including urinary tract infections (UTI). Incidences of UTI caused by bacteria have been increasingly reported globally and the abuse of antibiotics leading to evolving resistant strains of antibiotics is a public health challenge for the management of this condition. Information on the difference in types of bacterial agents causing UTI in diabetic patients and non-diabetic individuals, and their susceptibility profiles, will facilitate effective management among these groups of patients. Therefore, this study aimed at determining the difference in prevalence of UTI, the causative bacteria, and their antimicrobial susceptibility profiles in diabetic patients and non-diabetic individuals at a diabetes management center.
methodsThis was a prospective cross-sectional study conducted amongst 100 diagnosed diabetic patients and 100 non-diabetic individuals. Urine sample was collected aseptically and analyzed microbiologically for the presence of urinary tract bacterial pathogens. Drug susceptibility testing was conducted on the isolates by the Kirby Bauer method to ascertain the antibiotic susceptibility patterns.
resultsAmong the diabetic and non-diabetic individuals, urinary tract bacterial pathogens were observed in 28.0% and 26.0% of samples, respectively. The organisms were in the following proportions for diabetic and non-diabetic individuals, respectively:
conclusionThis study has shown that similarities exist in prevalence of UTI, the causative bacteria, and their antimicrobial susceptibility patterns amongst diabetic patients and non-diabetic individuals at a diabetes management center. These data will help in the management of UTI among these individuals.
