Pattern of bacterial profile and antibiotic susceptibility among neonatal sepsis cases at Cairo University Children Hospital.

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
objectivesNeonatal sepsis is the third leading contributor to mortality and morbidity. Emanating resistance to antibiotics in neonatal intensive care units (NICUs) is considered a major burden. In this study, we aimed to investigate the bacterial prevalence and antibiotic profile among patients admitted with sepsis in the NICU of Cairo University Children Hospital.
methodsNeonates with suspected sepsis were evaluated for bacterial sepsis in their blood cultures. The neonates with positive bacterial blood culture were included in this study, whereas neonates with negative culture were excluded. Positive samples were sub-cultured on blood, MacConkey, and chocolate agar plates. Organisms were identified by Gram staining and biochemical reactions. Antibiotic susceptibility was assessed by the Kirby-Bauer disc diffusion method.
resultsSeventy blood cultures (31.7%) were bacteria-positive: 45.3% for
