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: Bacterial meningitis is a serious central nervous system infection associated with high morbidity and mortality during the neonatal period, while the pathogen distribution was rarely reported on a large scale in China. This study aimed to investigate the distribution and change trends of neonatal bacterial meningitis pathogens in Children's Hospital of Fudan University over the past 12 years. Methods: This retrospective study included all cases diagnosed with neonatal bacterial meningitis and admitted to our hospital from 2009 to 2020. Results: Totally 231 cases were enrolled, including 128 (55.4%) for male, 72 (31.2%) for premature infants, 48 (20.8%) for early-onset meningitis. The most common pathogens were Conclusions:
