Epidemiology, risk factors, and applicability of CDC definitions for healthcare-associated bloodstream infections at a level IV neonatal ICU.
Article in Journal of perinatology : official journal of the California Perinatal Association, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
objectivesWe studied the epidemiology of primary bloodstream infections (BSIs), secondary BSIs, and central line-associated BSIs (CLABSIs) and applicability of CDC definitions for primary sources of infection causing secondary BSIs in patients in the neonatal ICU. STUDY
designWe classified healthcare-associated BSIs (HABSIs) as primary BSIs, secondary BSIs, and CLABSIs using CDC surveillance definitions and determined their overall incidence and incidence among different gestational age strata. We assessed the applicability of CDC definitions for infection sources causing secondary BSIs.
resultsFrom 2010 to 2019, 141 (32.7%), 202 (46.9%), and 88 (20.4%) HABSIs were classified as primary BSIs, secondary BSIs, and CLABSIs, respectively; all declined during the study period (all p < 0.001). Gestational age <28 weeks was associated with increased incidence of all HABSI types. CDC criteria for site-specific primary sources were met in 137/202 (68%) secondary BSIs.
conclusionsPrimary and secondary BSIs were more common than CLABSIs and should be prioritized for prevention.
