Factors associated with severe bacterial infection in infants between 91- and 120-days old admitted to the pediatric emergency department.

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
introductionDiagnosing severe bacterial infections (SBI) can be challenging, especially in infants. This study sought to identify clinical factors that could aid in predicting SBI in infants aged 91-120 days.
methodsThis retrospective cohort study investigated febrile infants aged 91-120 days admitted to the pediatric emergency department (PED). This study assessed the significant predictors of clinical and laboratory data for identifying SBI in young infants.
resultsThis study analyzed 264 febrile infants aged 91-120 days admitted to the PED. The significant factors for infants with SBI included sex, admission weight, body temperature(BT), white blood cell (WBC) count, neutrophil percentage, and C-reactive protein (CRP) level (all P < 0.05). Logistic regression analysis showed that male sex, higher BT, WBC count, and CRP levels were predictors of SBI. ROC analysis identified the useful cutoff values for predicting SBI as a BT of 39.3 °C, WBC counts of 15,500/µL, and a CRP concentration of 14.4 mg/L.
conclusionsIncreased BT, elevated WBC and neutrophil counts, as well as higher CRP levels, may act as predictors of SBI in infants aged 91-120 days admitted to the PED.
