Clinical characteristics of primary vesicoureteral reflux in children with an allergic constitution.
Article in European journal of medical research, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
objectivesThis study was designed to compare the clinical data of vesicoureteral reflux (VUR) in children with and without an allergic constitution.
methodsThe clinical data of patients hospitalized with VUR due to a urinary tract infection (UTI) between September 1, 2019, and December 31, 2020, were retrospectively analyzed. The patients were divided into two groups: an anallergic constitution group (AC group) and a non-allergic constitution (NAC group), and their UTIs and VUR were compared at baseline and during the follow-up period.
results(1) Between September 1, 2019, and December 31, 2020, a total of 284 children were hospitalized at Shengjing Hospital Affiliated to China Medical University due to a UTI. These children included 37 cases with primary VUR and 247 cases without VUR (including 59 cases of non-VUR urinary malformation). The proportion of children with an allergic constitution was significantly higher in the patients with VUR than it was in those without VUR or with other urinary malformations (72.97% vs. 48.18% vs. 50.85%, P = 0.005, 0.032). (2) At baseline, the levels of immunoglobulin and immunoglobulin E in the AC group were significantly higher than those in the NAC group (P = 0.042, 0.017). (3) During the follow-up period, the number of recurrent UTI cases in the AC group was significantly higher than that in the NAC group (0.70 ± 0.91 vs. 0.10 ± 0.32, P= 0.005). The difference between the two groups in the VUR remission rate was not statistically significant (40% vs. 50%, P = 0.563). (4) During the follow-up period, the differences in the remission rates of recurrent UTIs and VUR in the two groups were not statistically significant.
conclusionsThe incidence of having an allergic constitution is high in patients with VUR, and patients with an allergic constitution present with a higher frequency of recurrent UTIs.
