Pathogen Distribution of Neonatal Bacterial Meningitis in the Era of Multidrug-Resistant Bacteria: A Single-Center Experience.
Article in Infection and drug resistance, 2024. 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
Purpose: Neonatal bacterial meningitis (NBM) is a serious disease with high morbidity and mortality. This study aimed to establish a foundation for the selection of empirical antibiotics for NBM through an analysis of pathogen distribution and shift in antimicrobial resistant pattern. Patients and Methods: A retrospective cohort study on culture confirmed NBM from 2005 to 2022. Results: A total of 191 cases were enrolled, 48 for premature infants and 70 for early-onset meningitis. The incidence of NBM in first half and last half period was 0.2‰ and 0.24‰, while the mortality was 12.0% and 5.6% respectively. The top two pathogens were Conclusion: Incidence of NBM has not changed significantly over the last 2 decades.
