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

introductionUrinary tract infections (UTIs) are fairly common in infants. Early diagnosis and prompt treatment are crucial to avoid complications. However, providing appropriate antibiotic treatment is a challenge to any clinician considering the rise in the urinary pathogens that are resistant to the commonly used antibiotics especially with the emergence of extended-spectrum beta-lactamase (ESBL)-producing organisms. Consequently, this leaves the physician with limited options of antibiotic choices. This study aims to investigate the local resistance patterns of uropathogens causing UTIs in hospitalized infants in Bahrain and to provide guidance for the preferred choice of empirical antibiotic treatment.

methodsA retrospective cross-sectional study with an analysis of the medical records of infants from birth to one year of age admitted with UTIs at Salmaniya Medical Complex between June 2015 and June 2017 was conducted.

resultsData were obtained from 117 term infants (no preterm infants were included), with 80 (68.4%) being male. A total of 106 (90.6%) patients were less than six months of age. The most frequently isolated organisms were
