Knowledge, perceptions, and beliefs about urinary tract infections in persons with neurogenic bladder and impacts on interventions to promote person-centered care.
Article in Spinal cord, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT07084376 (A Multicenter, Parallel-group, Randomized Controlled Trial to Assess the Efficacy of Two Different Educational Approaches on Intermittent Catheter-related Acceptance and Patient-Reported Outcome Measures), which is not on this 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.

Abstract
STUDY
designQualitative study.
objectivesTo explore how knowledge, perceptions, and beliefs about urinary tract infections (UTIs) among persons with neurogenic bladder (NB) may impact health behaviors and provider management and enhance person-centeredness of interventions to improve UTI management.
settingThree Veterans Affairs (VA) medical centers.
methodsAdults with NB due to spinal cord injury/disorder (SCI/D) or multiple sclerosis (MS) with UTI diagnoses in the prior year participated in focus groups. Transcripts were coded using deductive codes linked to the Health Belief Model and inductive codes informed by grounded theory.
resultsTwenty-three Veterans (SCI/D, 78%; MS: 18.5%) participated in discussions. Three themes emerged: (1) UTI knowledge; (2) factors affecting the intervention environment; and (3) factors affecting modes of delivery. Knowledge gaps included UTI prevention, specific symptoms most indicative of UTI, and antibiotic side effects. Poor perceptions of providers lacking knowledge about NB and ineffective patient-provider communication were common in the Emergency Department and non-VA facilities, whereas participants had positive perceptions of home-based care. Participants perceived lower severity and frequency of antibiotic risks compared to UTI risks. Participant preferences for education included caregiver involvement, verbal and written materials, and diverse settings like peer groups.
conclusionsIdentifying patient perspectives enhances person-centeredness and allows for novel interventions improving patient knowledge and behaviors about UTIs. Partnering with trusted providers and home-based caregivers and improving NB knowledge and communication in certain care settings were important. Patient education should address mental risk representations and incorporate preferences for content delivery to optimize self-efficacy and strengthen cues to action.
