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

Drug induced neutropenia is an uncommon but potentially serious side effect in children receiving prolonged β-lactam antibiotic therapy. Management of β-lactam induced neutropenia in children remains challenging and often requires antibiotic therapy interruption or modification. There are limited data in pediatric patients about use of granulocyte-colony stimulating factor (G-CSF) for the treatment of drug induced neutropenia. We report the use of G-CSF for β-lactam induced neutropenia in four pediatric patients between the ages of 3 months and 18 years with bacterial meningitis in this case series.
