Prevalence and Impact of Bacterial Infections in Children With Liver Disease-A Prospective Study.
Article in Journal of clinical and experimental hepatology, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
BACKGROUND AND
aimsRisk of infections is increased in patients with Acute Liver Failure (ALF) and Decompensated Chronic Liver Disease (DCLD). We evaluated the frequency, site, type and risk-factors for bacterial infections in children with ALF and DCLD and its effect on outcome.
methodsALF or DCLD children were enrolled prospectively. Clinical and laboratory details were recorded. Cultures (blood, urine and ascites) and chest X-ray were done at admission followed by weekly surveillance cultures.
results173 patients, 68 ALF and 105 DCLD were enrolled. Infections were more common in DCLD than ALF (60/105 [57.1%] vs. 27/68 [39.7%];
conclusionInfections develop in 40% ALF and 57% DCLD children. HCA and NC infections account for 77% of infections. Most culture isolates are resistant to cephalosporins and fluoroquinolones and 23% have MRB. Risk of infections is higher in DCLD patients with advanced liver disease.
