Treatment of chronic relapsing urinary tract infection with antibiotics selected by AtbFinder.
Article in Urology case reports, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
We report the case of a 46-year-old patient who, after renal cancer surgery, developed a recurrent urinary tract infection that lasted for more than 2 years. Despite repeated antibiotic courses, including broad-spectrum drugs chosen using conventional antibiotic susceptibility testing, multiple reinfections followed. The patient was successfully treated once antibiotics were selected with AtbFinder. Unlike routine antimicrobial susceptibility methods, which select antibiotics effective only against a "lead bacterial pathogen," AtbFinder identifies antibiotics that target the mixture of bacteria at the infection site. This case demonstrates the ability of AtbFinder to successfully select antibiotics for the treatment of relapsing urinary tract infections.
