Guideline Adherence of Asymptomatic Bacteriuria Management Among Physicians in Jordan: A Cross-sectional Study.
Article in Open forum infectious diseases, 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
Background: Asymptomatic bacteriuria (ASB) is the presence of bacteria in urine without symptoms of a urinary tract infection. The management of ASB varies widely among health care providers, particularly in different regional contexts. This study aims to assess guideline adherence for ASB management among physicians in Jordan. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted among physicians from various medical specialties in Jordan between January and March 2024. A total of 750 surveys were distributed to participants through email and phone channels, focusing on demographic information, clinical practices, and adherence to available ASB management guidelines. Of these, 418 responses were received, yielding a response rate of 55.7%. The collected data were subsequently compiled and analyzed. Results: In total, 418 survey responses were analyzed. Participants included general practitioners, urologists, obstetricians/gynecologists, surgeons, internal medicine specialists, family medicine practitioners, and residents. There were significant deviations from recommended guidelines, particularly in antibiotic selection and treatment duration. Ciprofloxacin was the most preferred antibiotic (34.2%), contrary to guidelines recommending nitrofurantoin or trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole. Conclusions: The findings highlight the need for improved adherence to ASB management guidelines among Jordanian physicians. Educational interventions and policy implementations are essential to optimize clinical care and reduce antimicrobial resistance.
