The Epidemiology of Meningitis in Infants under 90 Days of Age in a Large Pediatric Hospital.
Article in Microorganisms, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 17 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
backgroundMeningitis is associated with substantial morbidity and mortality, particularly in the first three months of life.
methodsWe conducted a retrospective review of patients <90 days of age with meningitis at Texas Children's Hospital from 2010-2017. Cases were confirmed using the National Healthcare Safety Network (NHSN) definition of meningitis.
resultsAmong 694 infants with meningitis, the most common etiology was viral (
conclusionsEnteroviruses most commonly caused viral meningitis in infants; GBS was the most common bacterial cause despite universal screening and intrapartum prophylaxis. The emergence of MRSA and resistance to third-generation cephalosporins in Gram-negative bacterial meningitis challenges the options for empirical antimicrobial therapy.
