Risk factors for catheter-associated urinary tract infection in an intensive care unit: a matched case-control study.
Article in BMC infectious diseases, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
objectiveCatheter-associated urinary tract infections (CAUTIs) are common healthcare-related infections in intensive care units (ICUs). This study investigated the risk factors for CAUTIs in critically ill patients.
methodsThis study was a single-centre, retrospective, matched case-control study of patients undergoing indwelling catheterization in the ICU from December 1, 2016, to October 31, 2021. Patients with catheterizations were matched 1:4 with controls that were hospitalized in the ICU during the same period (with a difference in admission time of no more than two months).
resultsCAUTI occurred in 18 of 403 patients, with an infection rate of 3.7/per 1000 catheter days. Repeat catheterization of the urinary catheter (OR = 10.09) and days of antibiotic use (OR = 0.13) were independent risk factors for CAUTI (P < 0.05). A total of 31 pathogen strains were detected in urine samples from 18 CAUTI patients. The main pathogens were Gram-positive bacteria (n = 13, 41.9%), fungi (n = 10, 32.3%) and Gram-negative bacteria (n = 7, 22.6%). CAUTI was associated with an increase in hospitalization days by 26 days and an increase in total hospitalization cost of ¥160,000 (P < 0.001).
conclusionCAUTIs pose an economic and health burden for ICU patients. Repeat catheterization and longer use of antibiotics are to be avoided as much as possible.
