Distinguishing Intraventricular Hemorrhage From Infectious Etiologies in Febrile Late Preterm Neonates: Case Studies in Antibiotic Stewardship.
Article in Cureus, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Intraventricular hemorrhage (IVH) is a well-recognized complication in preterm infants, but its presentation as fever can be easily overlooked, leading to extensive sepsis workups and delayed diagnosis. This case report presents two late preterm infants who developed fever as the primary presenting symptom of IVH. Distinguishing IVH-related fever from that due to infectious causes can be challenging in this vulnerable population, where overuse of antimicrobials carries significant risks, including altered microbiome development, necrotizing enterocolitis, and antimicrobial resistance. Incorporating early diagnostic evaluation for IVH through cranial ultrasound in late preterm infants presenting with unexplained fever may avoid unnecessary tests and promote judicious antimicrobial use while improving overall neonatal outcomes.
