Bacteria profiles and risk factors for proven early-onset sepsis in preterm neonates.
Article in Saudi medical journal, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
objectivesTo fill this gap in the literature and establish a prediction model.
methodsThis retrospective study was conducted in a Neonatal Intensive Care Unit between April 2018 and April 2019. Sixty-five sepsis cases were clinically diagnosed with early-onset neonatal sepsis (EONS) and confirmed by bacterial culture, and 91 newborns were enrolled as control. Multivariate analysis was used to analyze the data, and the predictive efficiency of the prediction model was verified using the Hosmer-Lemeshow goodness-of-fit test and receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve.
resultsThere were differences in multiple gestation birth, cesarean section, gestational age, birth weight, Apgar scores at 1 and 5 minutes, and laboratory parameters including white blood cells, neutrophils, lymphocytes, platelets, C-reactive protein (CRP), procalcitonin (PCT), and interleukin-6 (IL-6) between the groups. Multivariable logistic analysis showed that the Apgar score at 5 minutes and CRP, PCT, and IL-6 levels remained independent significant predictors of EONS (
conclusionThe Apgar score at 5 minutes and CRP, PCT, and IL-6 levels are risk factors for EONS. The risk prediction model is highly efficient in predicting EONS among preterm infants.
