Urinary tract infections in children: recommendations for antibiotic prophylaxis and evaluation. An evidence-based approach.
Review in Current urology reports, 2010. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.
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
Urinary tract infections (UTIs) are common in children, but the routine work-up and treatment recommendations are still controversial. Long-term complications, including renal scarring, hypertension, and renal failure, have been the main concern and the reason for use of antibiotic prophylaxis and invasive imaging techniques. In the past several years, numerous studies have been published comparing different imaging protocols and questioning the use of antibiotic prophylaxis. The latest guidelines from the United Kingdom, published in 2007, recommend more selective approach based on evidence. In this review, we critically appraise the literature published in the past 5 years. The risk of developing long-term complications after a UTI is extremely low, and the evidence suggests selective imaging to a select group of children at risk. Finding those at risk for long-term complications is yet to be determined.
