Etiology and Risk Factors of Recurrent Urinary Tract Infections in Women in a Multidisciplinary Hospital in Romania.
Article in Microorganisms, 2025. 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
backgroundUrinary tract infections (UTIs) are among the most prevalent bacterial infections affecting millions of people worldwide each year. They are characterized by the presence of pathogenic microorganisms in the urinary system, leading to symptoms such as frequent urination, burning sensations during urination, and lower abdominal pain. While UTIs can affect individuals of all ages and genders, they are particularly common in women due to anatomical factors. A significant concern regarding UTIs is their tendency to recur, with some patients experiencing multiple episodes within a year.
methodsThis study included 674 female patients that were admitted into "Dr. Carol Davila" Central Military Emergency University Hospital in Bucharest over a period of 3 years.
resultsOf the 674 women with urinary tract infection, 435 (79.3%) had more than one positive culture, and 239 (35.4%) experienced at least one recurrent urinary tract infection 6-12 months after the initial diagnosis. The mean age of women with urinary tract infection was 63 (±15.61 years). Recurrent urinary tract infections were most prevalent in those aged 65-80 years (52%).
conclusionsThe high prevalence of UTIs among women is a significant public health concern that warrants attention. Women are particularly susceptible to UTIs due to various anatomical and physiological factors. This increased vulnerability underscores the importance of understanding the current epidemiological landscape of UTIs to develop effective preventive strategies.
