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

background

methodsFrom 2003 to 2020, all neonates with invasive GBS diseases who were hospitalized in a tertiary-level neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) were enrolled. The GBS isolates underwent serotyping, multilocus sequence typing (MLST) and antibiotic susceptibility testing. We compared cases of complicated GBS sepsis with uncomplicated GBS bacteremia.

resultsDuring the study period, a total of 188 neonates (aged less than 6 months old) with invasive GBS diseases were identified and enrolled. Among them, 119 (63.3%) had uncomplicated GBS bacteremia and 69 (36.7%) neonates had complicated GBS sepsis, including meningitis (25.5%,

conclusionsa total of 36.7% of all neonatal invasive GBS diseases were associated with complicated sepsis with/without meningitis. Given the high mortality and morbidity rates in neonates with complicated GBS sepsis, further studies for early identification of specific strains, risk factors or genetic mechanisms that will cause complicated GBS sepsis are urgently needed in the future.
