Epidemiological Evaluation of Blood Culture Patterns among Neonates Receiving Vancomycin.
Article in Indian journal of microbiology, 2014. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
The objective of this study was to assess the frequency of blood culture (BC) collection among neonates who received vancomycin. Demographic, clinical, microbiologic, and pharmacy data were collected for 1275 neonates (postnatal age 0-27 days) who received vancomycin at an Intermountain Healthcare facility between 1/2006 and 9/2011. Neonates treated with vancomycin had a BC collected 94 % (n = 1198) of the time, of which 37 % (n = 448) grew one or more bacterial organisms (BC positive). Of these, 1 % (n = 5) grew methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), 71 % (n = 320) grew coagulase-negative Staphylococci (CoNS), 9 % (n = 40) grew methicillin-sensitive Staphylococcus aureus (MSSA), and 22 % (n = 97) grew other bacterial species (total exceeds 100 % due to co-detection). In patients with negative BC or no BC, vancomycin therapy was extended beyond 72 h 52 % of the time. The median duration of vancomycin therapy for patients with a negative BC was 4 (IQR: 2-10) days. BCs were frequently obtained among neonates who received vancomycin. Vancomycin therapy beyond the conventional 'empiric' treatment window of 48-72 h was common without isolation of resistant gram-positive bacteria.
