Bacteremia and antimicrobial resistance pattern of uropathogens causing febrile urinary tract infection in a Pediatric University Hospital.
Article in Germs, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Introduction: Febrile urinary tract infections (UTIs) in children are among the most serious bacterial infections. Inadequate treatment can lead to kidney scarring and permanent kidney damage. Eight to ten percent of children with UTIs could have concomitant bacteremia. The study aimed to estimate the prevalence of UTI-associated bacteremia and identify common organisms causing UTIs and their antimicrobial susceptibility patterns to help guide empiric antimicrobial therapy. Methods: The current study was conducted over a 6-month period on children admitted with febrile UTIs at Alexandria University Children's Hospital. Blood and urine samples were collected for culture and antimicrobial susceptibility. Results: A total of 103 children with a median age of 12 months (IQR 6.0-24.0) were included in the study. Concomitant bacteremia was present in 63.1% (n=65). The median temperature of 38.40°C (IQR 38.15-38.60) and the median creatinine level of 0.18 mg/dL (IQR 0.14-0.25) were significantly higher in the bacteremic group compared to the non-bacteremic group (p=0.005, p=0.034, respectively).
