The prevalence of vesicoureteral reflux in infants with first urinary tract infection following circumcision is similar to infants with UTI not following circumcision.

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
purposeUrinary tract infections (UTIs) are common serious bacterial infections in early infancy. Ritual circumcision in neonates may increase the risk of UTI within 2 weeks of the procedure. The aims of this study were to assess the prevalence and risk factors for vesicoureteral reflux (VUR) among young infants with first UTI following circumcision, and compare it with the prevalence of VUR among young infants with first UTI not related to circumcision.
methodsIn this retrospective cohort study, the medical records of all children aged 0-100 days who were diagnosed with UTI at Shaare Zedek Medical Center between 2005 and 2012 were reviewed for demographic, clinical and laboratory data and for the presence of VUR in voiding cystourethrography (VCUG).
resultsFour hundred and sixty eight cases of UTI were included. Infants with post-circumcision UTI in our study were more likely to have associated bacteremia and abnormal renal function tests. VCUG was done for 166 infants (35%). There was no statistically significant difference in the prevalence of abnormal VCUG between infants with UTI following circumcision, in comparison to infants with UTI not following circumcision (30% vs. 36%, p = NS).
conclusionsThe decision regarding the need for radiographic evaluation and prophylactic antibiotic treatment following UTI should be made regardless if infection was related to circumcision.
