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

objectiveTo investigate the distribution of pathogens causing urinary tract infections (UTIs) in children aged 3 years and younger, the changes in antimicrobial resistance, and the clinical significance of these findings.

methodsA retrospective analysis was conducted on 727 pediatric patients aged 3 years and younger who were admitted to the Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region Maternal and Child Health Hospital for UTIs between January 2021 and December 2023. The distribution of causative pathogens and trends in antimicrobial resistance patterns were investigated.

resultsAmong the 727 pediatric patients, 408 (56.12%) presented with fever, 23 (3.16%) exhibited irritative urinary tract symptoms, and 31 (4.26%) presented with atypical symptoms. Imaging studies revealed abnormalities in 130 children (17.88%). Urine culture isolated 220 Gram-positive bacterial strains (30.26%), 409 Gram-negative bacterial strains (56.26%), and 98 fungal strains (13.48%). In particular, resistance of

conclusionThe primary clinical symptom of UTIs in children aged 3 years and younger is fever, and the main causative pathogens are Gram-negative bacteria. Multidrug-resistant strains are primarily
