Clinical characteristics and nomogram model for predicting the risk of recurrence of complicated urinary tract infection in pediatric patients.
Article in Scientific reports, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
Complicated urinary tract infection (cUTI) has higher incidences of antibiotic resistance, recurrence, chronicity, and progression. There exist differences in the immune functions, anatomical structures and physiological functions of urinary tract system between children and adults. In addition, the immature stage of hygiene habit development and the inability to express discomfort accurately all contribute to cUTI recurrence in pediatric patients. cUTI recurrence in children can lead to serious consequences such as growth and development delay, renal scars, and progression to end-stage kidney diseases. Despite the high incidence of cUTI recurrence, no predictive model currently exists to guide targeted intervention in pediatric patients. This study aimed to establish a nomogram to predict the risk of cUTI recurrence in children, thereby facilitating targeted prevention and treatment strategies in pediatric patients. The nomogram was developed based on a retrospective cohort that included 421 pediatric patients with cUTI at West China Second University Hospital from January 2020 to August 2023. The patients were randomly divided into a training set and a validation set in a 3:1 ratio. Logistic regression analysis was used to identify risk factors and construct the nomogram for predicting the risk of cUTI recurrence, followed by validation and performance analysis. Of the 421 children with cUTI, the recurrence rate of cUTI was 68.4% (288 cases) during an average follow-up duration of 22.9 months. The nomogram comprised female gender, history of urinary tract surgery, Escherichia coli in urine culture, renal dysfunction, and vesicoureteral reflux as predictors of cUTI recurrence in pediatric patients. The model showed favorable performance with C-index values of 0.735 and 0.750 in the training dataset and the validation dataset, respectively. The decision curve analysis revealed that the nomogram might be clinically useful. The reliable nomogram would be beneficial for clinicians to identify children with high risks of cUTI recurrence for targeted intervention.
