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

objectiveTo describe infection epidemiology and measure antibiotic utilization among a large cohort of newborns with congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH). STUDY

designRetrospective observational study including inborn newborns with CDH at a level IV referral center (free-standing children's hospital with special delivery unit) and two associated level III birth centers who underwent active care and survived to NICU admission, born 1/2013-11/2022 with available disposition.

resultsOf 381 newborns with CDH who were admitted to the NICU, 370 (97.1%) received antibiotics. There were 137 (36.1%) newborns with a positive bacterial culture from any source; 78/381 (20.4%) had a positive culture from blood, urine, or spinal fluid.

conclusionNearly all newborns with CDH at our center received antibiotics during their hospitalization, but the majority did not have a positive bacterial culture result, indicating opportunities exist for antibiotic stewardship among this population.
