[Administration of antibiotics in patients with polytrauma-based urogenital injuries-a narrative review].
Review in Urologie (Heidelberg, Germany), 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
backgroundUrogenital injuries occur in up to 10% of all trauma patients and are associated with increased risk of infectious complications, especially in association with polytrauma. Rational administration of antibiotics is an essential part of care, whereby evidence-based recommendations are lacking for many types of injuries.
methodsA narrative review on the administration of antibiotics to patients with injuries to the upper and lower urinary tract as well as external genital organs taking into consideration current international guidelines, consensus documents, and review articles is presented. In addition, recommendations on antibiotic stewardship, perioperative antibiotic prophylaxis, and specific trauma-related situations are taken into account.
resultsRoutine antibiotic prophylaxis for uncomplicated, blunt urogenital injuries is not recommended. In surgically managed, penetrating, or contaminated injuries, antibiotic administration should be risk adapted and be oriented based on the injury pattern, degree of contamination, and the expected spectrum of pathogens. In addition to guideline-based perioperative antibiotic prophylaxis, aspects of antibiotic stewardship, altered pharmacokinetic aspects of patients with polytrauma and systemic inflammation, prophylaxis for gas gangrene and tetanus, and the specific requirements associated with war-related injuries are becoming increasingly important.
conclusionAdministration of antibiotics in polytraumatized patients with urogenital injuries should be based on the indication and be guideline conform. Because of the limited amount of evidence, many recommendations are based on expert consensus as well as general trauma and perioperative guidelines. Prospective studies are needed to define indications, choice of antibiotics, and duration of treatment for the various injury patterns.
