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

Gram-positive (GP) pathogens are less accounted for in pediatric urinary tract infection (UTI), and their clinical impact is underrecognized. This study aimed to identify predictors of GP uropathogens in pediatric UTI. In this 14-year retrospective cohort of pediatric patients with UTI, we classified first-time UTIs cases into those caused by GP or Gram-negative (GN) bacteria. We constructed a multivariable logistic regression model to predict GP UTI. We evaluated model performance through calibration and discrimination plots. We developed a nomogram to predict GP UTI that is clinically feasible. Of 3783 children with first-time UTI, 166 (4.4%) were infected by GP and 3617 (95.6%) by GN bacteria. Among children with GP UTI, the most common uropathogens were vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus faecalis (VRE) (27.1%), Staphylococcus saprophyticus (26.5%), and coagulase-negative Staphylococci (12.7%). Eight independent risk factors were associated with GP UTI: Age ≥ 24 months (odds ratio [OR]: 3.21), no prior antibiotic use (OR: 3.13), serum white blood cell (WBC) count < 14.4 × 10
