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

objectiveTo determine the incidence, types of organisms and resistance patterns involved in early-onset neonatal sepsis in Canada. STUDY

designEarly-onset neonatal sepsis cases were identified through the Canadian Paediatric Surveillance Program. Neonates were excluded if they were asymptomatic or if intracranial procedures preceded a positive cerebrospinal fluid culture.

resultsOne hundred and twenty-seven cases were identified (0.17 cases per 1000 live births). Group B Streptococcus accounted for 41.7%,

conclusionWe identify a lower rate of early-onset neonatal sepsis than historically suggested, with differing dominant organisms based on gestational ages and other factors, as well as high rates of resistance especially among
