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

Brain abscesses represent a rare yet severe complication of bacterial sepsis in neonates, with Gram-negative bacteria being predominant etiological agents. While Serratia marcescens is an uncommon pathogen in neonatal sepsis and meningitis, it is recognized for its opportunistic nature and association with healthcare-associated infections. Despite advancements in antimicrobial therapies and diagnostic imaging, clinical outcomes in this population remain concerning, with high rates of mortality and long-term neurological sequelae. We present a case of a preterm neonate who developed multiple brain abscesses caused by Serratia marcescens.
