1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Bloodstream infections represent a significant concern in neonatal intensive care units (NICUs), constituting a leading cause of morbidity and mortality among neonates. This study aimed to elucidate the etiology, prevalence, and antimicrobial resistance patterns of bloodstream infections in NICU settings. A systematic review was conducted according to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) statement guidelines using the PubMed database to source relevant studies published between 2019 and 2023. Keywords related to bloodstream infections, neonates in NICUs, pathogens, resistance, and susceptibility were employed. Out of the 73 identified articles, eight met the inclusion criteria. Findings revealed a predominance of late-onset sepsis in hospitalized neonates, with
