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

Purpose: To analyze the distribution of pathogens and drug resistance in children with urinary tract infections (UTIs) in a single center in Xiamen and to guide the selection of empirical antibiotics in the clinic. Methods: Clinical data of 2001 children with UTIs in Xiamen Children's Hospital between 2014 and 2022 were retrospectively analyzed, grouped by age and comorbidities. Differences in pathogen distribution and drug sensitivity were compared with the chi-square test applied and significance set at p < 0.05. Results: Of 2001 urine samples collected, 965 (42.73%) had positive results for common infections. Gram-negative bacteria predominated (644/965; 66.74%), with Escherichia coli being the most prevalent (432/965; 44.77%). The top five pathogens were Escherichia coli, Enterococcus faecalis, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Enterococcus faecalis, Pseudomonas aeruginosa. The percentage of Escherichia coli was higher in simple UTIs than complex (54.01% vs 45.35%), and Pseudomonas aeruginosa (9.59% vs 2.74%) and fungi (7.27% vs 1.96%) were higher in complex UTIs (p < 0.05). Predominance of Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Enterococcus faecalis in boys and Enterococcus faecalis in girls. Escherichia coli had a significantly lower rate of resistance to ampicillin than Klebsiella pneumoniae (p < 0.001), and both had a high rate of resistance to cephalosporins (over 95% to cefazolin), but a low rate of resistance to amikacin and furotoxin. Pseudomonas aeruginosa had 100% resistance to most cephalosporins, but less than 7% to ceftazidime, cefepime and piperacillin tazobactam. Enterococcus faecalis had over 90% resistance to Ampicillin, Penicillin, Linezolid and 91.53% to tetracycline. No Tigecycline/Vancomycin-resistant enterococci were found. Both Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacteria maintained relatively low rates of resistance to Nitrofurantoin. Conclusion: Pediatric UTIs in Xiamen show gender-based pathogen differences, mainly gram-negative. Nitrofurantoin is preferred for mild cases, and the clinical selection should be individualized by combining the regional pathogen spectrum and drug sensitivity.
