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

More than 500 000 children die each year in low resource settings due to serious neonatal infections. Better diagnostics that can be utilized in these settings to identify infected infants have the potential to significantly reduce neonatal deaths and the associated morbidity. A systematic review was performed and identified more than 250 potential new biomarkers for the diagnosis of serious neonatal infections. Eight of these biomarkers were both high-performance and high-abundance (antithrombin, inter-α inhibitor proteins, interferon-γ inducible protein-10, interleukin-1 receptor antagonist, LPS binding protein, mannose binding lectin, serum amyloid A, resistin, visfatin), and are promising for the diagnosis of serious neonatal infections in low resource settings. Future clinical trials comparing these biomarkers with more traditional biomarkers seem warranted.
