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

Objectives: This study aimed to identify the most common causative microorganisms of community-acquired neonatal sepsis and assess the diagnostic performance of C-reactive protein (CRP) and complete blood count as predictors for neonatal sepsis. Methods: This retrospective study examined 359 community-acquired septic neonates in Jordan from 2016 to 2022. Blood cultures, complete blood count, and CRP levels were collected. Results: Among 359 neonates with community-acquired sepsis, the mean age at presentation was 8.8 days; 61.6% were male, and 55.4% were full-term. Fever (54.6%) and respiratory distress (28.4%) were the most frequent presenting symptoms. Gram-positive and Gram-negative organisms were nearly equal (50.4% vs 49.6%), with Conclusions: Early diagnosis and testing for inflammatory markers are essential for detecting community-acquired neonatal sepsis. However, because each test has limited sensitivity and specificity, combining these markers is necessary to improve diagnostic accuracy.
