Retrospective Analysis of Urinary Tract Infection in the Pediatric Population at a Tertiary Care Centre.
Article in Cureus, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers.
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
backgroundUrinary tract infection (UTI) is among the most common infections occurring during childhood. It is caused by both gram-negative and gram-positive bacteria and
methodsData of all pediatric patients in the age group of 6 months to 18 years with urinary tract infection were taken for analysis. Urine samples were collected and cultured on the cystine lactose electrolyte-deficient medium. The presence of bacteria was identified using biochemicals, and the antimicrobial test was performed using the Kirby-Bauer test or the VITEK 2 compact system (bioMérieux, Inc., France).
resultsThe prevalence of UTI was 23.5%. In total, 614 specimens tested positive with significant bacteriuria. The male-to-female ratio was 1:2.3. Approximately 54% patients presented with urinary symptoms alone. Culture positivity was significantly associated with pyuria (p < 0.0001).
conclusionNitrofurantoin and amikacin can be used as empirical therapy for gram-negative and gram-positive bacteria. Because resistance to various commonly used antibiotics is found to be increasing, treatment must be guided by antibiotic susceptibility reports.
