Association of substance use and vaginal infection with UTI in adolescent pregnant patients: a retrospective study.
Article in BMC pregnancy and childbirth, 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
backgroundUrinary tract infections in pregnant women, pose a global health concern, especially in adolescents due to their unique physiological changes. In Mexico, 18.5% of births occur in adolescent mothers, making it crucial to develop effective protocols for prevention, diagnosis, and treatment. Vaginal infections involving Gardnerella vaginalis and Candida albicans, create a pro-inflammatory environment conductive to the growth of Escherichia coli within the uroepithelium. Additionally, psychoactive substance use compromises the immune system, leading to infections acquisition.
methodsOne hundred forty-four adolescent patients were enrolled between 8 and 20 weeks of gestation at the Instituto Nacional de Perinatología in Mexico City. Urine cultures were performed to detect UTI caused by E. coli. Phylogroup classification, clinical evaluation, and statistical analysis were conducted to assess risk factors and maternal/neonatal complications.
resultsStatistical correlation was found between UTI and infections due to G. vaginalis andC. albicans. Additionally, psychoactive substance use incremented risk of maternal UTI.
conclusionThis study highlights the strong association between some vaginal infection and UTI caused by E. coli. Furthermore, psychoactive substance use promotes the acquisition of infections. These findings emphasize the need for comprehensive healthcare for adolescent pregnant patients.
