Epidemiology of invasive neonatal Cronobacter (Enterobacter sakazakii) infections.

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
About 120-150 neonatal Cronobacter spp. (Enterobacter sakazakii) infections have been described. An analysis of current case numbers, epidemiological measures and risk factors is warranted. Data of microbiologically confirmed cases, published between 2000 and 2008, have been analysed statistically. More than 100 neonatal Cronobacter infections have been reported in this period. The overall lethality of the 67 invasive infections was 26.9%. The lethality of Cronobacter meningitis, bacteraemia and necrotising enterocolitis (NEC) was calculated to be 41.9% (P < 0.0001), <10% and 19.0% (P < 0.05), respectively. Logistic regression models (P < 0.0001) revealed a higher gestational age at birth and parentage not from Europe as significant factors for a higher reporting probability of neonatal Cronobacter meningitis. Neonates with Cronobacter meningitis not originating from North America have a higher risk for lethal outcome than other neonatal Cronobacter infections (P < 0.0001). Continental differences of risk factors for Cronobacter meningitis and for the lethal outcome of neonatal meningitis should be elucidated. Neonatal Cronobacter infections are mainly associated with the contamination of infant formula and of the relevant cleaning and preparation equipment. Eleven neonatal Cronobacter infections, not caused by contaminated infant formula, have been retrieved. Other environmental sources of infection should be considered. Consistent and sufficiently informative data of invasive neonatal Cronobacter infections should be recorded in a centralized reporting system.
