## Assessment scope

- Population: Distinguishing the scope of 272 randomized participants, 254 in the adherent primary analysis, and recurrence denominators 131/123 in afebrile men with UTI at two US VA centers
- Ingredient, formulation and route: The historical comparison of ciprofloxacin/TMP-SMX for 7 versus 14 days; no antibiotic or duration instructions
- Dose: Not recorded
- Comparator: The 7-versus-14-day strategies, distinguishing resolution noninferiority from the definition, timing and denominators of 28-day recurrence
- Measured outcome: The selected 28-day symptom-recurrence record: original 13/131(9.9%) versus 15/123(12.9%), difference −3.0%p(CI −10.8~6.2)
- Duration: The original 28-day/by28days question; the observation window's exact reference point remains unverified and is separate from resolution within 14 days after treatment ended
- Questions outside this scope: Changing the original recurrence fractions, parenthetical rates, difference or CI through arithmetic comparison, recalculation, correction or adjudication of conflicts with new materials; Filling the 28-day reference point, recurrence definition, resolved-symptom conditions or denominators with information absent from the summary; Repurposing the resolution margin −10%p, one-sided 97.5% CI, primary analysis or all-participant consistency values for recurrence noninferiority, precision or a prespecified hierarchy; Repurposing the recurrence CI as zero effect, equivalence, definite recurrence reduction, complete long-term cure or reduced individual resistance; Calculating new populations, exclusion rates or event counts or rates from the adherent primary analysis of 254/131/123, completed follow-up in 272, or safety denominators 136/136; Repurposing articles 1793/862 in women, their drugs or clinical-cure findings as direct trials, replications or drug-selection evidence for recurrence in men; Repurposing safety counts 28/136 and 33/136, difference −3.7 and the absence of a reported test as statistical benefit, zero risk or recurrence values; Changing original public support, existing cross-citation verification wording or I2 into claims about absence of product support, employees or COI, or an independence or QA certification in this preparation; Extending the study's 7/14 days, two drugs or adherence-selection criteria to antibiotic selection, dosing, dose reduction, individual suitability or treatment instructions; Adding references to the same report, trial, population, group, time point, sibling question or manuscript as new independent trials or total participants; Inheriting the parent score or axes, historical cross-checks, original-paper review or existing cross-citation checks as subclaim values, current content review or external reading; New searches or APIs, numerical calculations, hypothetical values, new effects, CIs or grades, certification of independence, or guidance on antibiotic or vaccine selection, use, suitability or treatment

### S01

Drekonja et al. 2021

[PubMed](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34313686/)

Materials actually read: Summary read; external material unread  
Findings recorded in the summary: Recurrence was 13/131(9.9%) versus 15/123(12.9%), difference -3.0%p(95% CI -10.8~6.2). The questions in 1793 nitrofurantoin and 862 fosfomycin concern acute uncomplicated cystitis in women. UTI in men has traditionally been classified as a complicated infection; these results must not be combined with uncomplicated cystitis in women. The original recurrence fractions, rates, −3.0 difference and CI are each recorded unchanged. Parenthetical rates or differences are not recalculated from fractions, and the original table or observation window is not corrected. The women's articles 1793/862 provide other article context and are not direct trials of the selected recurrence question.  
Record level: Outcome wording in the stored summary  
Independent replication: S01 Drekonja2021/PMID34313686 is the same resolution, recurrence and safety report from 272 randomized afebrile men with UTI and 254 in the adherent primary analysis (131/123). The original parent's resolution noninferiority is distinguished from 28-day recurrence and safety denominators 136/136. Original recurrence fractions, parenthetical rates, differences and intervals are preserved as separate records without arithmetic checks, calculation or correction. The same report or population, sibling questions, groups, time points, denominators and article references are not added as new independent trials or participants. Report or material slots are not unique clinical totals; independent totals are null. S02 is an existing cross-citation reference to article 1793 on nitrofurantoin and clinical cure of acute uncomplicated cystitis in women, B70. The linked article or trial has not been read in this preparation; its population, exposure and endpoint differ from 28-day recurrence in afebrile men. The same report or population, sibling questions, groups, time points, denominators and article references are not added as new independent trials or participants. Report or material slots are not unique clinical totals; independent totals are null. S03 is an existing cross-citation reference to article 862 on single-dose fosfomycin for uncomplicated cystitis in nonpregnant women, B62. The linked article or trial has not been read in this preparation; its population, exposure and endpoint differ from 28-day recurrence in afebrile men. The same report or population, sibling questions, groups, time points, denominators and article references are not added as new independent trials or participants. Report or material slots are not unique clinical totals; independent totals are null.

Materials actually read: Summary read; external material unread  
Findings recorded in the summary: Evidence for single-dose treatment in women is not repurposed for men. Existing cross-citation verification wording and bibliography are preserved historically; clinical content, judgments or numbers are not transferred as direct values for the selected question.  
Record level: Outcome wording in the stored summary  
Independent replication: S01 Drekonja2021/PMID34313686 is the same resolution, recurrence and safety report from 272 randomized afebrile men with UTI and 254 in the adherent primary analysis (131/123). The original parent's resolution noninferiority is distinguished from 28-day recurrence and safety denominators 136/136. Original recurrence fractions, parenthetical rates, differences and intervals are preserved as separate records without arithmetic checks, calculation or correction. The same report or population, sibling questions, groups, time points, denominators and article references are not added as new independent trials or participants. Report or material slots are not unique clinical totals; independent totals are null.

## Review criteria and methods

These are Chamgap's own application conditions, informed by the relevant sections of official methodological guidance. They do not constitute official assessment-tool certification or a new efficacy score.

- M03 [Cochrane Handbook 6.5 (2024), chapter updated 2023-08](https://www.cochrane.org/authors/handbooks-and-manuals/handbook/current/chapter-03) · §3.1, §3.2.1–3.2.3, MECIR C5/C7/C13 · Clearly record the question, eligibility conditions and reasons for changes, and distinguish variations in interventions. · Preserved method HTML copies; no current method-content re-review or official tool execution
- M04 [Cochrane Handbook 6.5.1 (2025), chapter updated 2025-03](https://www.cochrane.org/authors/handbooks-and-manuals/handbook/current/chapter-04) · §4.5, §4.6.1–4.6.3, MECIR C42 · Distinguish studies from reports and link them; do not omit a study solely because results are unreported. · Preserved method HTML copies; no current method-content re-review or official tool execution
- M08 [Cochrane Handbook 6.5 (2024), chapter updated 2019-10](https://www.cochrane.org/authors/handbooks-and-manuals/handbook/current/chapter-08) · §8.1–8.2.3, Table 8.2.a · Define the outcome and effect of interest, then examine randomization, deviations, missing data, measurement and selective reporting. · Preserved method HTML copies; no current method-content re-review or official tool execution
- M15 [Cochrane Handbook 6.5 (2024), chapter updated 2023-08](https://www.cochrane.org/authors/handbooks-and-manuals/handbook/current/chapter-15) · §15.2.4, §15.3.1–15.3.3 · Distinguish effect estimates, intervals, importance and applicability. Sample size alone does not determine precision. · Preserved method HTML copies; no current method-content re-review or official tool execution
- M19 [Cochrane Handbook 6.5 (2024), chapter updated 2019-10](https://www.cochrane.org/authors/handbooks-and-manuals/handbook/current/chapter-19) · §19.1.2, §19.2.1–19.2.4 · Harm questions may require different designs, populations and follow-up from efficacy questions. Case reports do not establish incidence rates. · Preserved method HTML copies; no current method-content re-review or official tool execution

## What the statuses mean

- Met: A state used when required evidence is confirmed after user review. This production does not declare that review complete.
- Partly verified: Some information in the stored summary is linked into the table. External comparison/content review is not complete.
- Unverified: The article leaves this unverified, or required material is absent from the current stored summary. This is distinct from zero, absence or safety.
- Review incomplete: User review pending.
- Not reported: Not reported within the stored material actually read; not extended to the entire primary paper.
- Inaccessible: Means an actual access failure. Access not attempted here is not assigned this state.
- Not applicable: Not used as a substitute for an evidence gap.
- Conflicting data: Requires an observed disagreement under the same comparison criteria; not automatically judged in this production.
- Insufficient evidence for the conditions: Marks a gap in additional material required by the selected conditions; not a new efficacy grade.
