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

The study was carried out to determine the effect of the application of the Urinary Infections and Incontinence Prevention Care Package (UII-PCP) on incontinence and infections in female patients. This was an experimental pilot study with nonrandomized application and a control group design. The study was conducted with 52 female patients in the adult ICU. A patient identification form and patient follow-up form were completed with the intervention and control groups, and the Overactive Bladder Questionnaire (OAB-V8) was completed with both of the groups on the day of discharge and 1 month after discharge. The incidence of catheter-associated urinary tract infections (CA-UTI) symptoms after catheterization was significantly higher in the intervention group (42.3%) compared to the control group (15.4%; p < 0.05). Although there were signs of CA-UTI in the intervention group, no significant correlation was found with the urine culture growth results (p < 0.05). UI and CA-UTI status when applying UII-PCP were examined, and no significant results were identified. However, since this represents the first study on this topic, further studies are warranted.
