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

introductionIn accordance with the spread of drug-resistant bacteria worldwide, an increase in the prevalence of Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR) among pathogens causing urinary tract infections (UTIs) has been described globally. The aim of this study was to describe the prevalence and outcome of UTIs caused by third-generation cephalosporin-resistant (3GC-R) Enterobacterales in a prospective cohort of patients admitted to Emergency Department (ED). MATERIALS AND

methodsWe conducted an observational prospective multicentre study, involving 7 healthcare facilities, enrolling all consecutive adult patients admitted to ED with a microbiologically confirmed diagnosis of UTIs caused by Enterobacterales. The primary outcomes were the prevalence of UTIs caused by 3GC-R Enterobacterales, and 30-day mortality.

resultsDuring the study period, we included 288 patients with urinary tract infection: 41.7% of subjects were males, median age was 72 years (IQR 56-81). The most frequently isolated pathogen was Escherichia coli (70.5%); 35.9% of all pathogens isolated were non-susceptible to 3GC. At multivariate logistic regression analysis, admission to a hospital (OR 3.31, 95% CI 1.41-7.75, p = 0.006) or a long-term care facility (OR 4.87, 95% CI 1.16-20.36, p = 0.03) in the previous three months was independently associated with isolation of a 3GC-R pathogen. Regarding the clinical outcomes, 22 out of 217 (10.1%) patients completing follow-up died at 30 days. At multivariate analysis 7-day clinical response was the only variable associated with 30-day mortality (OR 0.11, 95% CI 0.04-0.36, p < 0.001).

conclusionsIn our study, 35.9% of pathogens isolated in urine cultures of patients with community-acquired UTIs were non-susceptible to 3GC. In the ED, the knowledge of local epidemiology and of risk factors for antimicrobial resistance is of paramount importance for choosing the right empiric therapy and setting up local guidelines.
