Nosocomial coagulase negative staphylococcal (CoNS) catheter-related sepsis in preterm infants: definition, diagnosis, prophylaxis, and prevention.
Review in Journal of perinatology : official journal of the California Perinatal Association. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 19 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Nosocomial infections with coagulase negative staphylococcus (CoNS) are a frequent and significant cause of morbidity in the preterm infant. Infections diagnosed after the first 72 hours of life are arbitrarily deemed to be "nosocomial." There are many difficulties encountered in efforts to evaluate and compare nosocomial sepsis in the NICU. An issue of primary concern is the lack of uniformity in the definition of sepsis in the NICU. Based on the frequency of positive blood cultures in infants less than 1000 g, it appears reasonable to evaluate methods for the prevention of nosocomial sepsis. These include prophylactic antibiotic administration, antiseptic impregnated catheters, and the use of an antibiotic lock technique.
