Article in Frontiers in cellular and infection microbiology, 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
Introduction: Bacterial meningitis (BM) is an infectious disease with high morbidity and mortality rates in children. Although vaccination has improved prevention of BM, this severe disease continues to cause considerable harm to children across the globe. Several risk factors have been identified for BM, including immune status, age, and sex. However, additional patient and disease information is required in order to better understand the local characteristics, epidemiology and risk factors of BM. Methods: Here, we collected information from 252 children with BM in the Guangzhou Women and Children Medical Centre medical record database infected with Results: The three pathogen infected BM cased showed distinct trends during the period, and distribution of three BM pathogens across age groups varied significantly. We reviewed the antimicrobial resistance patterns for each of the pathogens which may direct drug use in BM. Finally, we found blood WBC was a protective factor, while glucose levels in the CFS was risk factor, for the length of hospitalization. Discussion: Collectively, this study provides multi-parameter characteristics of BM, and potentially guide the drug use.
