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

Background: Complicated urinary tract infection (cUTI) is prevalent among people with spinal cord injury and disease (SCI/D). Diagnostic guidelines are neither consistent nor evidence based. Objectives: To establish consensus around symptoms-based diagnostic and decision-making criteria for cUTI for SCI/D. Methods: A representative sample of clinicians from PM&R, infectious disease, urology, and primary care within the United States (phase 1) and internationally (phase 2) participated in this study. Phase 1 involved focus groups and interviews to refine a decision-making paradigm for cUTI based on reliable and validated Urinary Symptom Questionnaires for Neurogenic Bladder (USQNBs: intermittent catheterization, indwelling catheterization, and voider versions). The phase 2 international Delphi survey on cUTI diagnostic criteria reflected phase 1 results. These criteria feature 6 "profiles": combinations of symptom number and types with associated likelihood of cUTI for each USQNB (18 total decisions). Results: Analyses of the phase 1 transcripts ( Conclusion: This is the first international and empirical initiative to establish cUTI symptoms-based guidelines for cUTI in SCI/D. These guidelines provide a coherent and evidence-based approach to decision making based on symptoms for clinicians and patients.
