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
Objective: To explore the epidemiological and pathogenic characteristics of children with community-acquired bacterial meningitis. Methods: A multicenter, retrospective study was conducted among CABM patients under 15 years old from 33 hospitals in China from 2019 to 2020. The medical record, laboratory, and microbiological data were collected and analyzed. Results: A total of 1610 children with CABM were identified and presented at a median onset age of 45 days of whom 955 (59.3%) were males. CABM occurred mostly in infants <1 year of age (84.0%, 1352/1610). In etiology-confirmed cases, the pathogens were isolated from CSF culture in 515 (32.0%), 400 (24.8%) in blood culture, and 186 (11.6%) both in CSF and blood culture. In total, 126 pathogens were identified through CSF mNGS in 330 CABM cases; 21 Conclusion: The onset age of CABM in children is usually within 1 year of age, especially <3 months. The primary pathogens in infants less than 3 months old are
