Urinary tract infections. Rates of postoperative urinary tract infections for each of the studies with ORs and 95% CIs. The studies were divided into two subgroups defined as high risk of bias and low risk of bias, according to the SIGN checklist (see materials and methods section for details). The pooled OR and 95% CI data are shown as the totals. The size of the box at the point estimate of the OR is a visual representation of the 'weighting' of the study. The diamond represents the point estimate of the pooled OR, and the length of the diamond is proportional to the 95% CI. 95% CI: 95% confidence interval; OR: odds ratio; SIGN: Scottish Intercollegiate Guidelines Network.
