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

background

methodsThis was a retrospective case series study conducted over one month (March 2023) in the Microbiology Department of Mohammed VI University Hospital, Marrakesh, Morocco. The study included neonates hospitalized in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) with at least one positive blood culture for

resultsSix neonates were included in the study, with an equal sex distribution (three males and three females). The majority were preterm infants (83.3%), with a mean gestational age of 34.2 weeks (range: 30.4-37.4 weeks) and a mean birth weight of 2.3 kg (range: 1.48-3.20 kg). Most deliveries were vaginal (83.3%). The main reasons for admission were neonatal respiratory distress (66.7%), followed by neonatal seizures and hypoglycemia (16.7% each). Comorbidities included severe perinatal asphyxia, persistent pulmonary hypertension of the newborn, and omphalocele. During hospitalization, the neonates developed clinical signs of sepsis after a mean delay of seven days (range: days four and nine), presenting with fever, tachycardia, and skin mottling. Biologically, patients developed leukopenia (mean leukocyte count: 9,500/mm³), elevated C-reactive protein (CRP) levels (mean: 89 mg/L), and thrombocytopenia (mean platelet count: 77,833/mm³). Blood cultures became positive after incubation, yielding Gram-negative, oxidase-positive bacilli identified as
