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

The incidence of pediatric urinary tract infections (UTIs) caused by extended-spectrum beta-lactamase-producing Enterobacteriaceae (ESBL-PE) has increased worldwide; however, optimal empirical treatment strategies remain controversial. This review addresses the prevalence, virulence factors, clinical impacts, and antibiotic management of UTIs caused by ESBL-PE in children. The prevalence of ESBL-PE among pediatric UTI isolates exceeds 20% in many regions, including Korea. No significant differences exist in the clinical manifestations between ESBL(+) UTIs and other UTIs. Despite in vitro resistance, third-generation cephalosporins frequently achieve therapeutic success because of their high urinary drug concentrations. Based on the patient's condition and risk factors, an initial empirical antibiotic should be selected, and early de-escalation and carbapenem-sparing strategies are essential to balance treatment efficacy and resistance prevention. Therefore, Korean guidelines for the treatment of pediatric UTIs are required.
