Clinical Usefulness of Early Evaluation of the Bacteriological Effect of Antibiotics Administered as Empiric Therapy Using the Fully Automated Urine Particle Analyzer UF-5000 in Febrile Urinary Tract Infections.
Article in International journal of urology : official journal of the Japanese Urological Association, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
objectivesAntimicrobial susceptibility test results following urine cultures over 3 days indicate that clinical symptoms and overall patient condition should be closely monitored to ascertain the effectiveness of a specific antibiotic course. A Fully Automated Urine Particle Analyzer UF-5000 (UF-5000) was used to detect bacteria in the urine. This study evaluated whether clinical urine samples could be analyzed using UF-5000 for rapid assessment of empiric antibiotic efficacy in treating febrile urinary tract infection.
methodsThe optimal exposure time to antibiotics was estimated to determine the susceptibility of bacterial strains in an in vitro culture system using the UF-5000. To determine the optimal timing for rapid evaluation of the efficacy of empiric antibiotics in patients with febrile urinary tract infection, the bacterial number and morphological changes in the urine were examined over time using the UF-5000 and compared with Gram staining results.
resultsIn vitro experiments showed that the optimal conditions for monitoring the bacterial count on the BACT scattergram of the UF-5000 were 6 h after antibiotic administration. In 10 clinical cases, empiric antibiotics generally showed good susceptibility to the dominant pathogen, and the BACT scattergram showed a significant decrease in bacterial counts after 6 h, but bacterial counts increased 24 h after antibiotic administration in three cases; in two cases, the antimicrobial treatment effects were inadequate based on clinical assessment, and in other cases, patients had to undergo multiple treatments.
conclusionMonitoring bacterial counts during empiric antibiotic therapy using the UF-5000 can help predict the effectiveness of antimicrobial treatment.
