Difficulties in diagnosing urinary tract infections in small children.
Review in Pediatric nephrology (Berlin, Germany), 2011. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 21 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
Urinary tract infections (UTIs) in children appear to be simple and straightforward matters, but there is as yet no consensus on UTIs in this patient group, and it remains one of the most - if not the most - controversial fields in paediatric medicine. Controversy and the lack of consensus can be found in many areas, including the diagnosis and management of UTIs in paediatric patients. Consequently, children with a UTI are investigated and treated quite differently in different parts of the world and also within different parts of the same country. One factor contributing to the current situation is the unexpected difficulty in diagnosing a UTI in children. This difficulty has implications not only for clinical work but also for scientific studies. Substantial over- and under-diagnosing can result from practical difficulties in at least three areas, including problems with collecting urine samples, in interpreting bacterial numbers correctly, and in confusing infantile asymptomatic bacteriuria and a true symptomatic febrile UTI. In this review, these problems will be discussed in detail as well as the implications they have had on clinical practice and research on UTIs.
