Profiles of microorganisms isolated from neonates' blood cultures, incubators, cradles, ventilators, washbasins, and health-workers of Libreville University Hospital Neonatal Service: focus on infection prevention and control measures.
Article in Journal of public health in Africa, 2021. 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
backgroundNosocomial infection outbreaks in neonatal services are a serious healthcare concern in both developed and developing countries, but few studies have been conducted in sub-Saharan Africa.
objectiveThis study explored the etiology of septicemia in neonates and associated patterns of antimicrobial susceptibility in Gabon.
methodsWe analyzed cultures from neonates' blood and swabs from medical personnel and equipment located in the neonatology service.
resultsSixty-eight microorganisms were isolated from the medical personnel and equipment; 46 microorganisms were isolated from neonates' blood culture.
conclusionsAwareness of the etiology, prevalence, and outcome of nosocomial infection is the first and most important step to appropriate interventions.
