The incidence, clinical features and outcome of urinary tract infections in geriatric patients: A prospective longitudinal study.
Article in IJID regions, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 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
Objectives: This study compares the incidence, clinical features, microbial profiles, and outcomes of urinary tract infections (UTIs) in patients aged 65 years and older versus those younger than 65 years. Methods: A longitudinal cohort of 1,123 patients was divided into Group A (≥65 years, n = 560) and Group B (<65 years, n = 563) and followed for 2 years. The study analyzed UTI incidence, clinical features, microbial profiles, and outcomes, including recurrence and antibiotic resistance. Results: Over 2 years, Group A had a significantly higher UTI incidence (38.0%) compared with Group B (12.8%) ( Conclusions: These findings highlight the need for age-specific UTI prevention and management strategies that account for microbial resistance patterns and higher recurrence rates in older patients, addressing clinical and microbial challenges.
