The urinary microbiome after paediatric bladder augmentation: a scoping review with comparative insights from adult urinary diversion surgeries.
Review in Pediatric surgery international, 2026. 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
Bladder augmentation is a lifelong reconstructive procedure for children with severe lower urinary tract dysfunction, but recurrent urinary tract infection, urolithiasis and mucus-related complications remain incompletely understood. This scoping review mapped evidence on the urinary microbiome after paediatric bladder augmentation and assessed transferable insights from adult bowel-derived urinary diversion. A PRISMA-ScR-guided search of PubMed, Embase and Web of Science identified peer-reviewed studies and conference abstracts published from January 2016 to April 2026 that used culture-independent sequencing. Seven studies were included: two paediatric and five adult, comprising three cross-sectional studies, two reports from one prospective cohort and two case reports. Paediatric studies reported contrasting enteric-dominant and native-bladder-like communities, with no consistent clinical associations. Adult studies more consistently suggested time-dependent restructuring, reservoir-specific microbial patterns and fungal involvement, although associations with urinary tract infection remained inconsistent. The paediatric evidence is insufficient to define microbiome composition, temporal behaviour or clinical significance after augmentation. Adult findings primarily provide a methodological template for future prospective, longitudinal, within-patient paediatric studies incorporating standardised urine and mucosal sampling, bacterial and fungal sequencing, metabolomics and predefined clinical outcomes.
