Umbilical Cord Stump Infections in Central Uganda: Incidence, Bacteriological Profile, and Risk Factors.
Article in International journal of environmental research and public health, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
Umbilical cord stump infection (omphalitis) is a risk factor for neonatal sepsis and death. We assessed the incidence of omphalitis, described the bacteriological and antibiotic-resistance profile of potentially pathogenic bacteria isolated from the umbilical cord stump of omphalitis cases, and evaluated whether bacteria present in the birth canal during birth predicted omphalitis. We enrolled 769 neonates at birth at three primary healthcare facilities and followed them for 28 days with scheduled visits on days 3, 7, 14, and 28. Cox regression models were used to estimate the rates of omphalitis associated with potential risk factors. Sixty-five (8.5%) neonates developed omphalitis, with an estimated incidence of 0.095 cases per 28 child-days (95% CI 0.073, 0.12). Potentially pathogenic bacteria were isolated from the cord stump area of 41 (63.1%) of the 65 neonates with omphalitis, and the most commonly isolated species were
