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

In some neonatal units, the screening of isolates for antimicrobial-resistant organisms is a matter of routine, with theoretical benefits including the prevention or early detection of outbreaks. This study sought to use whole-genome sequencing (WGS) retrospectively to characterize the genomic epidemiology of Gram-negative organisms obtained from a screening programme in a 32-bed unit providing intensive, high-dependency and special care at City Hospital, Birmingham, UK, identifying occult transmission events and clinically important antimicrobial-resistance (AMR) genes. WGS was performed for 155 isolates collected from rectal and umbilical screening swabs over a 2 month period from 44 individual neonates. Genomic epidemiological analysis showed possible transmission events involving
