Risk factors for bacterial stent colonization in patients with a double J ureteral stent: a prospective study.
Article in Annals of medicine and surgery (2012), 2024. 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
Background: The increasing use of double J ureteral stents (DJS) has increased the risk of early intolerance and long-term complications. Studies have reported stent colonization rates ranging from 19 to 90% with various bacterial profiles in the colonization of stents. Objectives: To identify the risk factors associated with bacterial colonization of DJS and report the common micro-organisms isolated and drug susceptibility pattern. Methods: This study is a prospective study of patients who underwent DJS. A total of 48 patients from our institution were studied between March 2022 and August 2023. After the removal of DJS with a sterile technique, the tips of both ends (renal end and bladder end) of the stent were cut and processed in the microbiology lab. Results: Bacterial colonies were detected in 56.25% (27 out of 48) of the stents. Among the pathogens identified, Conclusions: The study indicated that prolonged indwelling time and albuminuria are a risk factor for bacterial colonization on the stent therefore, it is advisable to use double J ureteral stent only when absolutely necessary and to remove them promptly.
