Article in Infection prevention in practice, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
backgroundA
aimTo identify risk factors for
methodsWeekly axillary swabs categorised eligible neonates as a case or a control. A case was defined as a week ending with a neonate's first positive swab for
findingsThe median (range) gestational age at birth of participants was 32.7 (23.1-41.3) weeks. Participants contributed 26 weeks of case data and 177 weeks of control data. On adjusted analysis compared with matched controls, cases had higher odds of requiring invasive mechanical ventilation (OR 3.6, 95% CI: 1.1-11.6, p=0.035) and of a patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) (OR 3.0, 95% CI: 1.0-9.0, p=0.044). Cases had lower odds of being part of a multiple birth (OR 0.24, 95% CI 0.08-0.73, p=0.001), having an area of inflamed skin (OR 0.31, 95% CI: 0.13-0.75, p=0.009), and specifically an area of inflamed axillary skin (OR 0.08, 95% CI: 0.01-0.50, p=0.006).
conclusionsWe found that premature neonates with invasive mechanical ventilation and PDA had greater odds for
