Pseudo-hypoaldosteronism secondary to infantile urinary tract infections: role of ultrasound.
Article in Italian journal of pediatrics, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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 biochemical hallmarks of transient pseudo-hypoaldosteronism associated with a pyelonephritis include hyponatremia, hyperkalemia, and acidosis. We tested if the kidney-urinary tract ultrasound helps in predicting the diagnosis of overt pseudo-hypoaldosteronism in infants with a pyelonephritis. CASES PRESENTATION: Between 2013 and 2020, we managed 71 previously healthy infants 4 weeks to 24 months of age with a pyelonephritis (42 males and 29 females) and made the biochemical diagnosis of pseudo-hypoaldosteronism in 17 (24%). Infants with and without pseudo-hypoaldosteronism did not significantly differ with respect to the prevalence of kidney-urinary tract ultrasound abnormalities, graded by means of the UTD classification system of urinary tract abnormalities.
conclusionsKidney-urinary tract ultrasound is almost routinely obtained in children with a febrile urinary tract infection. Our experience does not support the hypothesis that ultrasound might be relevant for the diagnosis of overt transient pseudo-hypoaldosteronism in babies affected by a urinary tract infection. Our data confirm the assumption that negative studies may be important for advancing clinical practice.
