Urinary tract infection following kidney transplantation: frequency, risk factors and graft function.
Article in Pediatric nephrology (Berlin, Germany), 2012. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 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
The aim of this study was to determine the proportion of children who develop urinary tract infection (UTI) after kidney transplantation (KTx) and to identify the factors associated with UTI and its impact on graft function. To this end, we undertook a chart review of children who underwent KTx at Red Cross Children's Hospital between January 2003 and December 2009 and were followed-up for at least 6 months after transplantation. Sixty-two children (53.2% males) were followed-up for a mean (standard deviation) period of 36.9 (19.7) months. Mean age at transplantation was 10.0 (4.6) years. Twenty-five (40.3%) children had 89 UTI episodes during the study period, equivalent to 0.94 UTI episodes per one patient-year of follow-up. Acute pyelonephritis occurred in 17 (27.4%) children; another 17 (27.4%) had multiple post-KTx UTI. Klebsiella (40.0%) and Escherichia (28.0%) were the commonest organisms. Those with post-KTx UTI were, at transplantation, younger (8.3 vs. 11.2 years; p = 0.017), had lower urinary tract abnormality (LUTA) (13 vs. 1; p = 0.000) and had pre-KTx UTI (13 vs. 5; p = 0.001). Multivariate analysis revealed that only age <5 years at transplantation and LUTA remained significant and that UTI KTx was not associated with worsening graft function. UTI is common after post-KTx. Among our patient cohort, younger age and LUTA were risk factors, but UTI did not affect graft function.
