1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Urinary tract dilations (UTDs) are the most frequent prenatal renal anomaly. The spectrum of etiologies causing UTD ranges from mild spontaneously resolving obstruction to severe upper and lower urinary tract obstruction or reflux. The early recognition and management of these anomalies allows for improved renal endowment prenatally and ultimately better outcome for the child. The role of the general obstetrician and pediatrician is to recognize potential prenatal and postnatal cases addressed to their practice and to refer patients to specialized pediatric nephrology and urology centers with a sense of the urgency of such a referral. The aim of this paper is to offer clinical recommendations to clinicians regarding the management of neonates and children born with prenatally detected UTD, based on a consensus between Swiss pediatric nephrology centers. The aim is to give suggestions and recommendations based on the currently available literature regarding classifications and definitions of prenatal and postnatal UTD, etiologies, prenatal and postnatal renal function evaluation, investigations, antibiotic prophylaxis, and the need for referral to a pediatric nephrologist and/or urologist. The overarching goal of a systematic approach to UTD is to ultimately optimize kidney health during childhood and improve long-term renal function prognosis.
