Risk factors for death caused by early onset sepsis in neonates: a retrospective cohort study.
Article in BMC infectious diseases, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
objectiveTo evaluate the association between traditional laboratory findings and death, and to find risk factors for death in infants with early onset sepsis (EOS). STUDY
designThis was a single-center, case-control, retrospective trial conducted between January 2020 and August 2021. Infants with EOS were enrolled and divided into two groups based on outcome before hospital discharge: non-survivors (Mortality group) and survivors (Survival group).
resultsOut of 556 eligible neonates, there were 38 (6.8%) deaths. After univariate analysis and ROC curve analysis, there were a total of 12 values with significant differences (p < 0.05) between two groups, which included birth weight (BW), weight on admission, gestational age, age on admission, mode of delivery, septic shock, heart failure, respiratory failure, pulmonary hypertension, hypothermia, serum lactic acid, and aspartate aminotransferase (AST). Moreover, after multivariate analysis performed for those 12 values, the binary logistic regression analysis showed that taking death as a reference, the BW (OR = 1.00, 95% CI[1.001, 1.002], p < 0.001), PPHN (OR = 2.60, 95% CI[1.04, 6.52], p > 0.001), septic shock (OR = 6.15, 95% CI [2.52, 15.00], p < 0.001), heart failure (OR = 6.22, 95% CI[0.90, 43.05], p > 0.001), serum lactic acid (OR = 0.82, 95%CI[0.75, 0.90], p < 0.001), and AST (OR = 1.00, 95% CI[0.99, 1.00], p > 0.001) could be regarded as risk factors for death with 94.0% correct predictions.
conclusionsThe factors affecting the prognosis of EOS in neonates were BW, PPHN, septic shock, heart failure, serum lactic acid, and AST. Timely correction of these modifiable risk factors for death may decrease the mortality of EOS in neonates.
