May we go on with antibacterial prophylaxis for urinary tract infections?
Review in Pediatric nephrology (Berlin, Germany), 2006. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 26 papers.
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
Recurrent urinary tract infections (UTIs), with or without vesicoureteric reflux (VUR), are by far the most frequent reason for long-term antibacterial prophylaxis in infants and children today. However, the strategies of antibacterial prophylaxis for the prevention of recurrent urinary tract infection are no longer universally accepted. In infants and children at risk, the benefits of antibacterial prophylaxis definitively are not yet proven by evident data. To put antibacterial prophylaxis in its place, risk groups for recurrent symptomatic infections, ascending UTI and permanent renal damage have to be defined and the efficacy of prophylaxis in these groups has to be proved by prospective randomised studies. Nevertheless, until the results of these studies are available, antibacterial prophylaxis will remain one of the most frequently practised methods to protect risk patients from pyelonephritic damage and UTI recurrences.
