Management of urinary tract infections in the community: a clinical audit and patient survey.
Article in BJGP open, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
backgroundUrinary tract infection (UTI) is a common ailment but can develop into sepsis. The outcomes related to UTI may potentially be affected by both patient and clinician management of UTI.
aimTo explore the circumstances around a single UTI episode to determine whether there are patient and clinician-related variables that may contribute to differences in management. DESIGN &
settingSurvey and clinical audit in 12 general practices in England.
methodPatients (
resultsA significantly higher proportion of females compared with males used self-management measures. Increase in fluid intake was 78% for females aged <65 years and 71% for females aged >65 years compared with 53% for males (
conclusionUTI symptom management by clinicians is suboptimal; the presence or absence of symptoms is often insufficiently recorded in medical records. Additionally, suboptimal adherence to guidelines concerning urinalysis and microbiological investigation is common. Known increased clinical risks for males may be compounded by their more limited knowledge of (self)-managing UTI and their comparatively late presentation.
