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

backgroundThe rise in community-acquired urinary tract infections (UTIs) with extended-spectrum β-lactamase (ESBL)-producing

objectiveTo investigate the clinical and microbiological outcomes of community-acquired lower UTIs caused by ESBL-producing MATERIALS AND

methodsA retrospective cohort study was performed on pediatric patients aged ≥2 to 18 years treated as outpatients with intramuscular amikacin (given at a dose of 15 mg/kg/day once daily) for community-acquired lower UTIs caused by ESBL-producing

resultsA total of 53 pediatric patients (38 females) were enrolled in this study. The median age was 4.7 years (range 3-12 years). All

conclusionOur study suggests that once-daily intramuscular amikacin could be an alternative option for outpatient treatment of community-acquired lower UTIs caused by amikacin-susceptible ESBL-producing
