Comparative Assessment of Lower Urinary Tract Infections in Hospitalized Adults from Western Romania: A Retrospective Cohort with Microbiological Analysis.
Article in Microorganisms, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
Urinary tract infections (UTIs) remain a leading cause of healthcare-associated morbidity, particularly in patients with indwelling urinary catheters. This study aimed to compare catheter-associated (CAUTIs) and non-catheter-associated UTIs of the lower tract among hospitalized adults in Western Romania, identify potential predictors of prolonged hospital stay, and explore the interplay of inflammatory markers and clinical outcomes. We retrospectively examined 130 patients diagnosed with UTIs from 2020 to 2024. Demographic data, comorbidities, laboratory parameters (CRP, procalcitonin, fibrinogen, white blood cell counts), and microbiology results were assessed. Patients were divided into CAUTI (n = 72) and non-catheter UTI (n = 58) groups. CAUTI patients had a significantly longer mean hospital stay (13.9 ± 4.3 vs. 11.7 ± 3.8 days,
