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

Infants born before 24 weeks' gestational age face unique challenges compared to more mature preterm infants. This includes a higher risk of infection, which remains a leading cause of morbidity and mortality. Over the last two decades, advancements in neonatal care have resulted in higher rates of survival. However, invasive bacterial and fungal infections continue to pose significant threats. This narrative review highlights the epidemiology, microbiology, and related outcomes of bacterial and fungal infections in infants born before 24 weeks' gestational age. This review also discusses major knowledge gaps in infection epidemiology, prevention, and management, highlighting the need for more robust international data and innovative strategies to address the unique vulnerabilities of these infants.
