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
Urinary tract infection (UTI) is one of the most common infections in infants and children. The aim of this study is to evaluate the association between vitamin D levels and urinary tract infections in children. This case-control study was performed on 80 children aged 1-12 years with urinary tract infection referred to the pediatric clinic of Mousavi Hospital in Zanjan, Iran. For each patient in the case group, an individual of the same age and sex was selected in the control group. Vitamin D was measured by the ELISA method. Statistical analysis was performed by SPSS V22 software. In this study, 80 children were divided into two groups of 40 cases (UTI) and control. Serum levels of vitamin D in the case group were significantly lower than in the control group [OR (95%CI) = 3.316 (1.286-8.550),( p = 0.013)]. In females, serum levels of vitamin D in cases were significantly lower than for controls [OR (95%CI) = (5.417 (1.685-17.417), P-value = 0.005)]. No significant relationship was found between serum levels of vitamin D in cases and controls regarding male gender, age and weight. Conclusions: This study showed that vitamin D deficiency has a significant relationship with the prevalence of UTI in children. Vitamin D deficiency and female gender are more frequent risk factors for UTI.
