1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

introductionThe aim of this study was to analyze the characteristics of pyelonephritis with multidrug-resistant (MDR) bacteria in pregnant women in comparison to pyelonephritis with multidrug-sensitive bacteria in this particular patient group.

methodsWe conducted a retrospective study over a period of three years on a study group of 17 pregnant patients with pyelonephritis with MDR bacteria and on a control group of 52 pregnant patients with pyelonephritis with multidrug-sensitive bacteria. We analyzed the demographic data, the potential risk factors, aspects of the clinical picture, the incidence and type of bacteria involved, and their sensitivity spectrum.

resultsThe patients in the study group had pyelonephritis on the right side (N=10, 58.83%), were in the second and third trimesters of pregnancy (N=16, 94.12%), and had a high percentage of anemia (N=9, 52.94%), as did the control group. Unlike the patients in the control group, the patients in the study group had a higher incidence of antibiotic treatment (N=17,100% vs. N=14, 29.92%, p<0.001), previous urological surgery, especially ureteral catheterization with insertion of double-J catheters (N=9, 52.94% vs. N=9, 17.30%, p=0.003), and an increased incidence of urosepsis on admission (N=11, 64.70% vs. N=11, 21.15%, p<0.001).

conclusionsPregnant women in the second and third trimesters of pregnancy who have undergone right-sided double-J catheter insertion during pregnancy and/or who have received antibiotic treatment in the past are at increased risk for pyelonephritis with MDR.
