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

Objectives: To investigate the association between meteorological factors and common uropathogens in children with urinary tract infections (UTIs) and assesses the potential influence of weather conditions on pediatric UTIs. Study design: Analyze the demographic and uropathogen characteristics from children with culture-proven UTIs and its correlation with meteorological factors. Methods: 2,411 data from infants and children with UTIs in a children's hospital from 2016 to 2021 were retrospectively analyzed. A correlation analysis was conducted to investigate the relationship between the monthly detection number of uropathogens and meteorological factors. Results: Multiple linear stepwise regression analyses showed a positive correlation between monthly average temperature, precipitation volume, sunshine hours, monthly total number of uropathogens, and the number of Conclusion: This study reveals the association between meteorological factors and uropathogens in children with UTIs, as well as the distribution, age-related characteristics, gender differences and antibiotic resistance profiles of pathogenic bacteria. These findings inform the development of targeted strategies for UTI prevention and treatment based on uropathogenic characteristics and meteorological conditions.
