Risk Factors for Central Line-Associated Bloodstream Infection in Critically Ill Neonates.
Article in Indian journal of pediatrics, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
objectiveTo identify independent risk factors to develop a central line- associated bloodstream infection (CLABSI) in critically ill neonates with major underlying diseases.
methodsA nested case-control study was conducted in a neonatal intensive care unit (NICU). Patients with a central venous catheter (CVC) were included. Cases were neonates who developed a CLABSI and controls were patients without CLABSI. Variables included: perinatal history, characteristics of the catheter, installation and catheter use, surgical interventions, and hospital stay. Odds ratio (OR) and 95% confidence intervals (CI) were calculated. X
resultsSeventy four cases and 105 controls were analyzed. Univariate risk factors were: any surgery, abdominal surgery, length of hospitalization (≥14 d), double-lumen CVC, surgical cut-down technique, complications, CVC placement in internal jugular vein, dressing type, blood transfusions, parenteral nutrition, and number of CVC manipulations (>200). In the logistic regression analysis, independent risk factors with a p value <0.05 were: double-lumen catheter (OR 5.8, 95% CI 1.2-30), length of hospitalization ≥14 d (OR 4.6, 95% CI 1.8-11.4), abdominal surgery (OR 2.7, 95% CI 1.2-6.2) and blood transfusions (OR 2.5, 95% CI 1.2-5.3).
conclusionsOne risk factor was related to the catheter itself. Management of underlying diseases in specialized NICU contributes to a greater extent to the development of a central line-associated bloodstream infection.
