Risk factors for imaging abnormalities after the first febrile urinary tract infection in infants ≤3 months old: a retrospective cohort study.
Article in BMJ paediatrics open, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
objectivesTo assess the association of clinical factors and investigation results (blood and urine) with imaging abnormalities (ultrasound of the kidneys, ureters and bladder; dimercaptosuccinic acid scan; and/or micturating cystourethrogram) and recurrent urinary tract infections (UTIs) in infants ≤3 months old presenting with their first febrile UTI.
methodsWe conducted a retrospective cohort study of infants ≤3 months old with first febrile UTI admitted from 2010 to 2016. Multivariable logistic regression model was used to analyse the association of imaging abnormalities and recurrent UTI with covariates selected a priori: age at presentation, maximum temperature, duration of illness at presentation, interval between start of antibiotics and fever resolution, C-reactive protein, total white cell count on the full blood count, bacteraemia, white cell count on the urinalysis and non-
resultsThere were 190 infants but 12 did not undergo any imaging. Median age at presentation was 63 days (IQR 41-78). Twenty-four patients had imaging abnormalities. Non-
