Effects of urinary tract infection during the first years of life in subsequent growth: a nationwide comparative matched cohort study.
Article in Translational pediatrics, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Background: Although various childhood illnesses are known to influence growth status, the impact of urinary tract infections (UTI) on subsequent childhood growth remains unclear. This study was conducted to examine the association between UTI during infancy and growth status at 30-36 months. Methods: Nationwide population-based matched cohort study was done using data from the Korean National Health Insurance System (NHIS) and the Korean National Health Screening Program for Infants and Children (NHSPIC) between January 2018 and December 2020. Height and weight standard deviation scores (SDSs) at the fourth Korean NHSPIC conducted at 30-36 months were compared between children who experienced UTI during infancy and age- and sex-matched controls. We used weighted multiple linear regression analysis with inverse probability of treatment weighting (IPTW) and identified differences between the two groups using β coefficient with corresponding 95% confidence intervals (CIs). Results: We analyzed 84,519 children diagnosed with UTI during infancy and 84,519 age- and sex-matched controls. The height SDS between children who experienced UTI and the control group was not statistically different (β coefficient for height SDS, -0.0034; 95% CI: -0.0121 to 0.0054). However, the body mass index (BMI) SDS was significantly higher in children who had experienced UTI (β coefficient for BMI SDS, 00426; 95% CI: 0.0304 to 0.0547). Subgroup and sensitivity analysis showed consistent results. Conclusions: Our findings suggest that a history of UTI during infancy is associated with high BMI measured at 30-36 months.
