Prevalence and determinants of neonatal infections in Benin based on a retrospective study in six reference hospitals.
Article in Scientific reports, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Maternal and neonatal infections pose a significant public health challenge, particularly in developing countries like Benin. This retrospective study investigates the frequency and determinants of maternal and neonatal infections in Benin during 2022, utilizing data from six reference hospitals. The study includes 123 neonates suspected of infection, analyzing factors such as birth weight, breastfeeding practices, clinical delivery parameters, and laboratory-confirmed infection rates. Findings reveal that 32% of suspected cases were confirmed infections, with a higher prevalence among premature newborns and those born in specific hospitals. The study emphasizes the need for improved diagnostic facilities, infection control practices, and awareness among healthcare workers and pregnant women. Recommendations for future research include broader geographic coverage and enhanced training programs.
