Bacteriological Profile and Antimicrobial Susceptibility Pattern of Cerebrospinal Fluid Shunt Infections in Infants and Children.
Article in Journal of pediatric neurosciences. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
backgroundDespite the advent of modern neurosurgical techniques, new antibiotics, and modern imaging techniques, infection after ventriculoperitoneal (VP) shunt insertion and/or ventriculostomy is still a serious issue.
aimThe aim of this work was to study bacteriological profile and antimicrobial susceptibility pattern of cerebrospinal fluid shunt infections in infants and children. MATERIALS AND
methodsA total of 90 patients under the age of 12 years undergoing cerebrospinal fluid shunt procedures were included. The CSF shunt fluid, external ventricular drain (EVD), shunt tube tip specimens were processed as per standard microbiological techniques. The organisms isolated were subjected to antimicrobial susceptibility using the Kirby-Bauer disk diffusion method.
resultsOf 20 infected patients 10 (50%) were culture positive. Most common organisms isolated were
