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 aim of this review article is to equip the sonographer with the necessary knowledge to perform a detailed and clinically relevant assessment of the urinary tract in a child. Many of the techniques and principles used in the imaging of the urinary tract in adults can be applied to children. There are, however, notable differences with which the sonographer should be familiar. There is often a certain amount of trepidation when asked to image a child, but there are a number of simple steps that can make the process easier and more fulfilling. This article begins with advice on how to maintain cooperation in a child and the differences in the technical aspects of imaging of children. This is followed by a detailed review of the different pathologies that may be encountered, as well as highlighting information that is particularly relevant to the clinician looking after the child.
