Prevalence and risk factors of urinary tract infection in kidney recipients: a meta-analysis study.
Synthesis in BMC nephrology, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 29 papers, 3 of them syntheses that pooled it.
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
backgroundA kidney recipient's urinary tract infection (UTI) can result in infectious problems and be a risk factor for less successful transplant outcomes. UTI risk factors are still controversial. The present study aimed to investigate the prevalence of UTI and its association with risk factors in kidney recipients.
methodTwenty-six papers published between 2005 and 2022 were retrieved using keywords and searching Medlib, ScienceDirect, PubMed, and other databases. If possible, the pooled prevalence of UTI in kidney recipients and odds ratio (OR) with a 95% confidence interval for each risk factor were calculated. The data were analyzed using the random effects model in R and Stata 14.
resultsThe total sample size was 72,600, with an average age of 48.7 years. The pooled prevalence of UTI was 35% (95% CI, 30-40%). The estimated risk factors for UTI were female (OR = 3.13; 95%CI: 2.35-4.17), older age (OR = 1.03; 95%CI: 1-1.05), history of UTI (OR = 1.31; 95%CI) CI: 1.05-1.63), receiving a kidney from a deceased donor (OR = 1.59; 95%CI: 1.23-2.35), long-term use of an indwelling catheter (OR = 3.03; 95%CI: 1.59-6.59), a ureteral stent (OR = 1.54; 95%CI: 1.16-2.06), diabetes (OR = 1.17; 95%CI: 0.97-1.41), hypertension (OR = 1.6; 95%CI: 1.26-2.28), acute rejection process (OR = 2.22; 95%CI: 1.45-3.4), and abnormal urinary tract anatomy (OR = 2.87; 95%CI 1.44-5.74).
conclusionThis meta-analysis revealed that UTIs are a significant problem in kidney recipients. Factors such as female sex, old age, history of UTIs, deceased donor, long-term use of an indwelling catheter, diabetes, acute rejection process, use of ureteral stent, abnormal urinary tract anatomy, and hypertension were related to an increased risk of UTIs in kidney recipients.
