Clinical assessment of neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin as a potential diagnostic marker for neonatal sepsis: a prospective cohort study.
Article in Annals of medicine, 2022. 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
Sepsis is a life-threatening condition associated with high morbidity and mortality rates among neonates. Clinical diagnosis is limited due to the neonates' unspecific signs and symptoms as well as the long time required to obtain the blood culture results. Consequently, there is an urgent need for new biomarkers to early diagnose neonatal sepsis. We aimed to evaluate Neutrophil Gelatinase-Associated Lipocalin (NGAL) diagnostic performance to detect neonatal sepsis. We enrolled 30 neonates with sepsis admitted to the neonatal intensive care units and 30 age- and sex-matched healthy neonates recruited from the neonatal outpatient clinic during their routine follow-up visits. We measured NGAL levels by sandwich enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, the C-reactive protein (CRP) with nephelometry technique using BN II nephelometer, and the complete blood count by Mindray BC-6800 analysers. NGAL, CRP, TLC, haemoglobin, and platelet levels showed significant differences between cases and control (all
