Effect of long-term postoperative OM-89 administration on bacteriuria from suspected infectious stones.
Article in Investigative and clinical urology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
purposeWe aimed to evaluate the effect of long-term oral OM-89 therapy on the urinary microflora in patients with urolithiasis. MATERIALS AND
methodsPatients underwent surgical removal of urinary stones followed by no OM-89 treatment for six months or daily OM-89 administration. Urine culture and urinary polymerase chain reaction (PCR) were performed at the baseline visit (V1) and at 2 months (V2) and 6 months (V3) after the operation.
resultsA total of 113 patients completed the study. The rate of urinary bacteria detection by urine culture at V3 did not differ between OM-89 treated and untreated groups (p>0.999); however, the PCR detection rate tended to be higher in OM-89 untreated group than in OM-89 treated group (p=0.052).
conclusionsLong-term immunization with OM-89 could further decrease the frequency of urinary bacterial colonization after surgical removal of urinary stones. OM-89 could be used as a complementary therapy if a retrieved stone is suspected to be related to infection.
