Urination Stimulation Techniques for Collecting Clean Urine Samples in Infants Under One Year: Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.
Synthesis in Acta paediatrica (Oslo, Norway : 1992), 2025. 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
aimTo evaluate the efficacy of spontaneous urination stimulation techniques in infants under 1 year to obtain a clean and valid urine sample for analysis.
methodsSystematic review of randomised clinical trials. The databases consulted were PUBMED, SCOPUS, WEB OF SCIENCE, CINALH and the Virtual Health Library. The risk of bias was assessed via the RoB2 scale. A meta-analysis was performed to analyse the success rate of urine collection for both techniques and the contamination rate of the urine samples.
resultsSeven studies were included in this review. The participants included 1122 infants, of whom a stimulation technique was performed in 667 (the technique of Herreros et al. was performed in 419 infants, and the "Quick-Wee" technique was performed in 248 infants). Success was measured by obtaining a midstream urine sample in less than 5 min. Urination stimulation is effective in obtaining a urine sample, especially at < 6 months of age.
conclusionStimulation of urination in infants is a noninvasive, fast, safe, economic and effective procedure that allows the capture of a valid urine sample in the middle of the stream for analysis.
