Risk factors for positive urine culture and antimicrobial resistance in suspected UTI after flexible ureteroscopic lithotripsy.
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
Background: This study identified independent risk factors for positive urine culture and bacterial resistance in patients with suspected urinary tract infection (UTI) after flexible ureteroscopic lithotripsy (FURL), to provide an evidence-based basis for individualized clinical antimicrobial treatment strategies. Methods: A retrospective cohort study enrolled 864 adult patients with suspected UTI after FURL who underwent urine culture between January 2024 and June 2025. Baseline clinical data were collected, and univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses were used to identify independent risk factors for positive urine culture, pseudomonas aeruginosa infection, and bacterial resistance. Results: Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analysis demonstrated that advanced age, female gender, positive urine nitrite, positive urine glucose, urinary catheterization, hydronephrosis, and ureteral stricture were independent risk factors for positive urine culture in patients with suspected UTI after FURL. Young age and elevated urinary nitrite were identified as independent risk factors for Pseudomonas aeruginosa infection in patients with positive urine culture. Additionally, female gender was an independent risk factor for antimicrobial resistance in patients with positive urine culture, while diabetes mellitus was an independent protective factor for antimicrobial resistance with positive urine culture. Conclusion: Distinct high-risk factors correlate with positive urine culture, P. aeruginosa infection and antimicrobial resistance in suspected UTI patients after FURL; stratified clinical assessment by these factors enables individualized antimicrobial therapy to improve treatment precision, reduce irrational antibiotic use and alleviate resistance development.
