Association of Escherichia coli O157:H7 with necrotizing enterocolitis in a full-term infant.
Article in Pediatric surgery international, 2009. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 papers.
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
Necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) is the most common gastrointestinal emergency of the neonate. NEC is predominantly seen in premature infants; however, in rare instances it can affect full-term infants as well. Although the pathogenesis of NEC remains elusive, it is well established that bacterial colonization is required for development of this disease. In this report, we present a case of a full-term infant, who developed a very aggressive form of NEC and was found to have Escherichia coli (E. coli) O157:H7 both in stool and blood cultures. Unfortunately, despite aggressive surgical and intensive care management, this infant suffered pan-intestinal necrosis and expired. We were not able to establish the route of transmission. To our knowledge, this is the first report of the association of E. coli O157:H7 with NEC.
