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

objectivesUrinary Tract Infections (UTIs) are the most common serious bacterial infections which are seen during infancy. The aim of the present study was to evaluate aetiology, and antimicrobial resistance patterns among infants and children who approached our hospital for treatment of UTIs.

methodsIn this observational study which was carried out from 2007 to 2010, 1575 urine samples which were collected from children with suspected UTIs were studied. Demographic characteristics, aetiological agents and antimicrobial resistance were evaluated.

resultsUTIs were more common in the 0-1 year age group, among males. Among females, UTIs were commonly seen after 2 years of life. The most common isolated pathogen was Escherichia coli spp (45.12%), followed by Klebsiella spp (18.17%) and Enterococcus spp (9.23%). Isolated pathogens were highly resistant to ampicillin, co-trimoxazole, and norfloxacin (82%-98%) and highly sensitive to gentamicin (83%),amikacin (76.5%), and nitrofurantoin (71.5%).

conclusionThe most common pathogen which caused UTIs in children was E. coli spp. The isolated pathogens were highly resistant to commonly used antibiotics, ampicillin and co-trimoxazole, while they were highly sensitive to gentamicin, amikacin and nitrofurantoin. So, these antibiotics may be used as alternative drug therapies for the treatment of UTIs.
