Ultrasonography Results in First Urinary Tract Infection During Childhood: Which Age Group Should Be Screened?
Article in Indian journal of pediatrics, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
objectivesTo determine the frequency of urinary system anomaly in children aged 0-18 y suffering from first urinary tract infection (UTI) and to establish which age group requires urinary ultrasonography (USG) screening.
methodsAge and gender, urine culture, urinary USG, and urological imaging results among 247 children in the 0-18 y age group with a first diagnosis of UTI were investigated retrospectively.
resultsAnomaly was detected at USG in 68 (27.5%) of the 247 patients suffering from first UTI. The most common anomaly was hydronephrosis. Non-E. coli micro-organisms were the pathogenic agents in 61.8% of patients with anomalies detected at USG. Being in the 0-5 y age group (OR: 0.524, 95% CI 0.284-0.970, p = 0.040) and presence of atypical UTI (OR: 4.746, 95% CI: 1.675-13.450, p = 0.003) emerged as independent predictive markers of severe urinary system pathologies on multiple regression analysis.
conclusionBased on the data in the present study, routine USG screening is recommended for children suffering from first UTI under the age of 5 y and for the children suffering from atypical UTI at all ages.
