Vaginal microbiota and urinary tract infections in women: the protective role of vaginal lactobacilli in counteracting urinary tract infections occurrence and recurrence.
Review in Le infezioni in medicina, 2026. 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
Urinary Tract Infections (UTIs) are common clinical conditions. Women are affected by UTIs more than men and their probability of experiencing such conditions is high (60%). The vagina and its defensive system play a key role in the pathogenesis of UTIs, making the vaginal microbiota (VMB) a target for controlling UTIs and their recurrence (rUTIs). Current therapy consists of low-dose antibiotics for rUTIs prevention. The increasing incidence of antimicrobial resistance documented to date has rendered this strategy less attractive. The initial step of UTIs pathogenesis involves colonization of the vaginal introitus and periurethra by uropathogens. The following steps may include the ascension of uropathogens via the urethra to the bladder and kidneys. Vaginal infections may be caused by uropathogens from the intestinal microbiota, taking advantage of the proximity between the anus and the vagina. Nevertheless, uropathogens may arise from the vagina itself because of alterations in VMB. Changes in VMB lead to Bacterial Vaginosis (BV), which consists of the replacement of healthy lactobacilli with unhealthy Gram-negative bacteria, such as
