Prevalence of Ventilator Associated Pneumonia in Neonates in A Tertiary Care Hospital in Western Nepal.
Article in JNMA; journal of the Nepal Medical Association. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
introductionVentilator-associated pneumonia is a serious problem which needs to be addressed for a better outcome of the ventilated babies. The present study is undertaken to find out the prevalence of ventilator-associated pneumonia in neonates in a tertiary care hospital in western Nepal.
methodsA descriptive cross-sectional study was carried out in a tertiary care hospital in the western region of Nepal from March 2016 to February 2019 after approval from the Institutional review committee. Sample size was calculated and convenience sampling was done to reach the sample size. Data were collected from hospital records and entered in Statistical Package for the Social Sciences, point estimate at 95% confidence interval was calculated along with frequency and proportion for binary data.
resultsOut of 95 patients ventilated in neonatal intensive care unit in the last 3 years, 23 (24.01%) developed ventilator-associated pneumonia. Prevalence of ventilator-associated pneumonia is 23 (24.01%) at 95% (14%-34%). Late onset ventilator associated pneumonia was seen in 15 (15.78%) while early onset ventilator associated pneumonia was seen in 8 (8.42%).
conclusionsPrevalence of ventilator associated pneumonia in neonates in tertiary care hospital is high compared to other studies conducted in neonates.
