Urinary Tract Infection Epidemiology in NICUs in the United States.
Observational study in American journal of perinatology, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 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
objectiveOur objective was to characterize the incidence, associated clinical factors, timing of infection, microbiology, and incidence of concordant blood culture of urinary tract infections (UTIs) in very low birth weight (VLBW <1,500g) infants. STUDY
designMulticenter observational cohort study of VLBW infants with gestational age (GA) ≤32 weeks, still hospitalized on postnatal day 7, and discharged 2010 to 2018 from Pediatrix Medical Group neonatal intensive care units. Demographic and clinical characteristics of infants with and without UTI were compared. Multivariable logistic regression evaluated adjusted odds of UTI diagnosis.
resultsOf 86,492 included infants, 5,988 (7%) had a UTI. The most common pathogen was
conclusionUTI is a common cause of infection in VLBW infants, especially among the smallest, most premature, male infants, and those with a longer duration of hospitalization. Neonatal clinicians should consider obtaining urine culture in the setting of late-onset sepsis evaluations in VLBW infants. KEY POINTS: · UTI is a common cause of LOS in VLBW infants.. · The most common pathogens are Enterococcus spp. and E. coli.. · UTI risk varies among different VLBW infant populations.. · Next steps should include evaluation of preventative measures..
