Assessing the Risk of Urinary Tract Infection and Invasive Bacterial Infection in Febrile Infants Aged 7-90 Days With COVID-19.

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 Concomitant urinary tract infection (UTI) or invasive bacterial infection (IBI) in previously healthy, well-appearing febrile infants with COVID-19 is low. We sought to review the rates of UTI and IBI in all febrile infants with COVID-19 presenting to community emergency departments (EDs). Methods We retrospectively reviewed infants aged 7-90 days with COVID-19 from July 1, 2020, to August 31, 2022, who had an ED visit. Infants without fever or with COVID-19 more than seven days prior to the index ED visit were excluded. We collected data on blood, urine, and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) culture results. UTI, bacteremia, and bacterial meningitis were defined by culture review as per prior standards. Results We included 622 infants, of whom 329 were febrile. Older infants and those presenting later in the pandemic had lower rates of complete evaluation. Of the 201 infants with urine collected, four (2%) had a UTI. Of the 184 infants with blood cultures obtained, 19 (10.3%) had contaminated blood cultures. One of the 159 infants (0.6%) with both blood and urine collected had an
