Analysis of Urogenital Toileting Techniques and Their Association with Bacteriuria Rates Among Nursing Home Residents.
Article in Microorganisms, 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
Urogenital toileting practices for residents in nursing homes (NHs) and their implications for the occurrence of bacteriuria remain largely unknown. Our purpose was to assess urogenital toileting practices in NHs in our region and their association with bacteriuria and urinary culture contamination rates. NHs reported on the direction of urogenital cleaning with respect to the urinary meatus and related practices during resident care over 7 years (2017 to 2023). Linear mixed models were used to relate two urogenital cleaning techniques, with bacteriuria rates (positive urinary cultures per resident over a year) and urinary culture contamination proportions. Of the 111 participating NHs, 33% used a technique involving outward cleaning with respect to the urinary meatus. Of these, 50 institutions had 7-year urinary microbiological data available (10,602 cultures, 13,059 isolates).
