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

It is a common practice to monitor blood tests in patients receiving long-term trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole (TMP-SMZ) prophylaxis for recurrent urinary tract infections. This multicenter, randomized, placebo-controlled trial enrolled 607 children aged 2 to 71 months with vesicoureteral reflux diagnosed after symptomatic urinary tract infection. Study participants received TMP-SMZ (n = 302) or placebo (n = 305) and were followed for 2 years. Serum electrolytes (n ≥ 370), creatinine (n = 310), and complete blood counts (n ≥ 206) were measured at study entry and at the 24-month study conclusion. We found no significant electrolyte, renal, or hematologic abnormalities when comparing the treatment and placebo groups. We observed changes in several laboratory parameters in both treatment and placebo groups as would normally be expected with physiologic maturation. Changes were within the normal range for age. Long-term use of TMP-SMX had no treatment effect on complete blood count, serum electrolytes, or creatinine. Our findings do not support routine monitoring of these laboratory tests in children receiving long-term TMP-SMZ prophylaxis.
