1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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 American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) recently published new guidelines on diagnosing and managing infants and children younger than 2 years who have had a febrile urinary tract infection (UTI). They recommend, as previously did the National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence (NICE) in the UK, a marked reduction in the imaging that these children should undergo. Both NICE and AAP agree that prophylactic antibiotic treatment should not be routinely used in these children, even in those with major vesicoureteric reflux.
