Singapore Housing Index and prevalence of serious bacterial infections among febrile infants.

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
Background and objective: This study aimed to examine the relationship between the Singapore Housing Index (SHI) and presence of serious bacterial infections (SBIs) among young febrile infants. Methods: A secondary analysis was conducted on infants ≤3 months old, who presented to a paediatric Emergency Department (ED) with temperature ≥38°C between December 2017 and 2021. SHI was categorised into low, medium and high groups. The primary outcome was presence of SBIs. Secondary outcome was a composite of the need for resuscitation, and/or need for high acuity care. We performed multivariable logistic regression to study if SHI was independently associated with SBIs and SBI outcomes. Results: Among 1,001 infants, the median age was 32 days (interquartile range IQR 10-60), and 176 infants (17.6%) were diagnosed with SBIs. The SBI rates among low, medium, and high SHI groups were 12.6% (13/103), 17.5% (115/658), and 20% (48/240) respectively ( Conclusions: In our study population, young infants from low SHI were not at greater risk for SBIs. Future research should include other measures of social determinants in the understanding of SBI risk in young febrile infants.
