Risk factors for postoperative febrile urinary tract infection in patients with urolithiasis: a meta-analysis.
Article in Frontiers in surgery, 2026. 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
Objective: To identify risk factors for febrile urinary tract infection (FUTI) following surgical intervention for urinary stones. Methods: We systematically searched seven databases (from CNKI to EMBASE) from inception to May 2025 for cohort and case-control studies investigating risk factors for FUTI. Two investigators independently screened studies, extracted data, and assessed quality (Newcastle-Ottawa Scale). Adjusted odds ratio (OR) with 95% confidence interval (CI) were used as effect measures. Meta-analysis was performed using Stata 12.0. Results: 16 studies ( Conclusion: Diabetes mellitus, renal insufficiency, preoperative hydronephrosis, elevated procalcitonin, preoperative pyuria, preoperative bacteriuria, perinephric fat stranding, tissue rim sign, operative duration, and stone size are potential independent predictors of FUTI after urinary stone surgery. These findings enable targeted prevention strategies for high-risk urolithiasis patients.
