The Appropriateness of Empirical Antimicrobial Treatment of Uncomplicated Urinary Tract Infection in Adult Female Patients in Jazan Region, Saudi Arabia.
Article in Clinics and practice, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
introductionUncomplicated urinary tract infection (uUTI) is one of the most prevalent bacterial infections in clinical practice. Empirical treatment is used commonly; thus, knowledge of the local antimicrobial susceptibility pattern is crucial to avoid the growing antibiotic resistance. PURPOSE: The aim of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of the empirical treatment of uUTI and determine the susceptibility pattern for common uUTI causative microorganisms at outpatient clinics in hospitals in the Jazan region.
methodThis is a prospective observational study of 120 patients with uncomplicated urinary tract infections attending internal medicine outpatient clinics in Al-Hayat Jazan hospital, Saudi Arabia, from September 2021 to January 2023.
resultsIn total, 120 patients were included in the study. The mean age of the participants was 48.53 ± 9.29. Risk factors for UTI were found in 57.5%, and type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM) was the major risk factor (27.5%). The most common causative microorganism was
conclusionsThis study concluded that nitrofurantoin and Ciprofloxacin are suitable empirical treatments for uncomplicated urinary tract infection in the Jazan region, and increased resistance against trimethoprim/sulphamethoxazole (TMPSMX) and cefaclor was observed; thus, empirical therapy with these agents should be reconsidered in local guidelines. Wide surveillance research is necessary to monitor effective empirical therapies and to evaluate the regional antimicrobial susceptibility pattern.
