Pathogen Profiles and Antimicrobial Resistance Patterns of Neonatal Sepsis in the Gulf Cooperation Council: A Systematic Review.
Review in Children (Basel, Switzerland), 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
backgroundNeonatal sepsis (NS) is a life-threatening condition in newborns, which is an infectious process with a systemic inflammatory reaction to bacterial, viral, or fungal infection acquired in the first 28 days of life.
methodsThis study examines the major pathogens causing neonatal sepsis in the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) and their resistance patterns to antimicrobial agents. We utilized the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines to develop this systematic review to follow a systematic and transparent process. The comprehensive literature review was done in several national and global databases, which include PubMed, Scopus, Google Scholar, Embase, and Cochrane Library. The key words inserted in the search strategy were "neonatal sepsis," "late-onset sepsis," "early-onset sepsis," and "Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC)," and the keywords of antimicrobial resistance and pathogens were used: "antimicrobial drug resistance" and "pathogens." Only articles published from January 1983 to January 2025 were included for screening.
resultsThe final count of the articles that fit the inclusion criteria is 54, and 5177 neonatal sepsis cases' data have been identified. The most common pathogens were coagulase-negative staphylococci (CoNS) and
conclusionsThe bacterial isolates had a diversity of antimicrobial resistance, stressing the necessity of continuous hospital surveillance. Sophisticated diagnostic methods and well-designed research are necessary, especially in areas characterized by high rates of neonatal mortality, to determine the prevalence of neonatal sepsis, risk factors, and clinical outcomes.
