Risks of Renal Anomalies and Urinary Tract Infections in Neonates With Single Umbilical Artery.
Article in Cureus, 2024. 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
Background Our study aims to evaluate the characteristics of congenital anomalies of kidneys and urinary tracts (CAKUT) and urinary tract infection (UTI) in babies with single umbilical artery (SUA) and to identify factors associated with these outcomes. Methods We performed a 15-year retrospective analysis on babies who were born ≥34 weeks with SUA between 2006 and 2020. Relevant clinical information on obstetrics and neonatal examinations, UTIs, and imaging of the urinary systems was evaluated. Results The frequency of SUA in newborns was 3.28 per 1,000 deliveries. The majority (271/291; 93.1%) of patients had kidney ultrasound, and 19 (7.0%) had CAKUT. Hydronephrosis (n = 11, 57.9%) was the commonest CAKUT, followed by unilateral kidney agenesis (n = 3, 15.8%), horseshoe kidney (n = 2, 10.5%), and right low-lying kidney (n = 2, 10.5%). Most significant CAKUT (including solitary kidney and urinary tract obstruction) could be detected during the antenatal period. Congenital heart defect (OR 4.93, 95% CI 1.59-15.34), limbs (OR 9.77, 95% CI 1.53-62.44), and sacral abnormalities (OR 5.06, 95% CI 1.25-20.55) were associated with CAKUT. Six (2.1%) developed UTIs during the study period, with the majority below two years old. The presence of CAKUT was associated with the development of UTI after adjustment (adjusted HR 10.28, 95% CI 1.86-56.83). Conclusions The overall prevalence of CAKUT was 7.0% in patients with SUA, and the majority of significant CAKUT was identified during the antenatal period. Congenital heart defects, limbs, and sacral abnormalities were associated with CAKUT. UTI occurred in 2.1% of patients.
