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 evaluate the association between shift-level organizational data (unit occupancy, nursing overtime ratios [OTRs], and nursing provision ratios [NPRs]) with nosocomial infection (NI) among infants born very preterm in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU). Study design: This was a multicenter, retrospective cohort study, including 1921 infants 23 Results: Rate of NI was 11.5% (220/1921). Overall, median occupancy was 88.7% [IQR 81.0-94.6], OTR 4.4% [IQR 1.5-7.6], and NPR 101.1% [IQR 85.5-125.1]. A greater 3-day mean OTR was associated with greater odds of NI (aOR 1.08, 95% CI 1.02-1.15), a greater 3-day mean NPR was associated lower odds of NI (aOR 0.96, 95% CI 0.95-0.98), and occupancy was not associated with NI (aOR, 0.99, 95% CI 0.96-1.02). These findings were consistent across multiple sensitivity analyses. Conclusions: Nursing overtime and nursing provision are associated with the adjusted odds of NI among infants born very preterm in the NICU. Further interventional research is needed to infer causality.
