Risk factors and treatment advances for carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae infections in the urinary tract.
Review in Frontiers in cellular and infection microbiology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae (CRE) pose a significant threat in urinary tract infections (UTIs), which are among the most common infectious diseases. This review summarizes the risk factors and treatment advances for CRE-associated UTIs. Key risk factors include advanced age, history of carbapenem use, invasive urological procedures, indwelling catheters, immunosuppression (e.g., in transplant recipients), and prolonged hospitalization. The prognosis of CRE UTIs is generally better than infections at other sites but is influenced by factors like ICU admission and treatment failure. Treatment relies heavily on novel antibiotics, such as ceftazidime-avibactam and the siderophore cephalosporin cefiderocol, often used in combination regimens to enhance efficacy and prevent resistance. Recent clinical trials have demonstrated the effectiveness and safety of cefiderocol against CRE UTIs. Research on adjuvants like metal ion chelators (e.g., copper, bismuth) to restore antibiotic susceptibility is promising. Future efforts should focus on developing new antimicrobials, establishing rapid diagnostics for precise control, and conducting large-scale studies to optimize individual treatment strategies and infection control measures to improve patient outcomes and curb CRE spread.
