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

backgroundNeonatal sepsis is the most common cause of mortality and morbidity. It is a major global public health challenge, particularly in developing countries. Therefore, knowing the current status of bacterial isolates and their antimicrobial resistance profile is essential to physicians and health workers to implement appropriate intervention. The aims of this study was to assess a ten-year trend of bacterial prevalence isolates from blood culture among neonates (<1 month of age).

methodA hospital-based retrospective study was conducted on 1854 neonatal patients who were admitted at University of Gondar Specialized Comprehensive Hospital between 2010 and 2020. Sociodemographical and laboratory data were collected from medical records. Quality of the data was assured through standard operational procedures. Data were entered and analysed using SPSS version 20. Bivariate analysis was employed to determine strings of association between the outcome variable and sociodemographic variables. A

resultsIn a total of 1854 patients, 538 (29%) were culture positive. The overall neonatal sepsis infection rate was 287 (53.5%) for male and 249 (46.5%) for female. The highest proportion of neonatal sepsis infection rate was observed among the patients in the age range between 3 and 28 days and gestational at birth <37 weeks, 461(86%) and 278 (52%), respectively. Gestational at birth (

conclusionNeonatal sepsis infection is common in the 3-28 days of age range.
