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

backgroundThis study aimed to describe the causative organisms of neonatal late-onset sepsis (LOS) and their antimicrobial resistance in Suzhou, Southeast China over a 7-year period.

methodsWe performed a retrospective study on neonates with LOS from Jan1, 2011 to Dec 31, 2017. The demographic, clinical, and laboratory data of neonates with LOS were analyzed. Logistic regression was used to investigate the risk factors with mortality.

resultsDuring the study period, 202 neonates with LOS were finally identified. The most common pathogens were Escherichia coli (29.2%), followed by Klebsiella pneumoniae (19.3%), and Coagulase-negative Staphylococcus (CoNS) (16.8%). Nearly 90% of the K. pneumoniae were resistant to cefazolin and 71.8% to ceftazidime. Thirty-four patients (16.8%) died. Multivariable logistic regression showed that significant predictors of mortality were birth weight < 1500 g, respiratory distress and convulsions.

conclusionsGram-negative organisms have an important role in LOS in our region, with high levels of resistance to third-generation cephalosporins. These data may help in the selection of antibiotics for empirical treatment of neonates with sepsis.
