Acinetobacter Infections in Neonates.
Review in Current infectious disease reports, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 15 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
purpose of reviewMDR-Gram-negative bacteria are a great concern in the neonatal population, with a worldwide rise in the reported incidence and with very limited therapeutic options. Acinetobacter baumannii is responsible for many infections in neonates and outbreaks in neonatal intensive care unit (NICU); also, outbreaks caused by other Acinetobacter species have been reported. The aim of this review is to document the epidemiology of Acinetobacter spp. infections in neonates and risk factors for acquisition of Acinetobacter spp. in the NICU using data from published studies. RECENT
findingsAcinetobacter spp. infections are increasing in neonates in NICU. Outbreak caused by multidrug resistant (MDR) or extensively drug resistant (XDR) A. baumannii but also outbreak caused by susceptible A. soli and A. septicus sp. nov., were reported in neonates. Acinetobacter spp. were responsible for bloodstream infections and respiratory tract infections in neonates. Risk factors for A. baumannii acquisition in neonates were low birthweight, length of NICU stay, umbilical catheterization, central-venous catheterization, assisted ventilation, and prior antibiotic use. This review highlights the importance of surveillance of risk factors for healthcare-associated infections in NICU to control MDR and XDR A. baumannii infections in neonates.
