Prevalence of Neonatal Sepsis in a Tertiary Hospital in Jos: A Five-Year Retrospective Study.

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
Introduction Neonatal sepsis is a systemic illness that occurs in newborns. It is a leading cause of neonatal morbidity and mortality globally. The aim of this study is to determine the burden of neonatal sepsis and assess the challenges of diagnosis among neonates hospitalized at the newborn unit of a tertiary care hospital in northern Nigeria. Methods Members of the study team extracted clinical and laboratory data from the medical records for all babies admitted to the hospital with neonatal sepsis between January 2015 and December 2019 using a standardized case report form. Results A total of 227 (39.5%) were found to have had suspected neonatal sepsis based on clinical presentation. Of these, 134 (59.0%) were male, 59 (26.0%) were preterm, and 93 (41.0%) were hospitalized within the first 24 hours of life. The majority were outborn, 148 (65.2%), and 147 (64.8%) had early-onset neonatal sepsis. Only 10 (4.4%) of these babies had blood cultures done; of these, only one was positive for
