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

backgroundMATERIALS AND

methodsA retrospective case series of ten preterm infants with

resultsAll infants were preterm with multiple comorbidities, the median gestational age was 32⁺³ weeks. No significant temporal clustering was observed. Common presentations were feeding intolerance and bloody stool, with 80% of cases having necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC). Laboratory findings showed elevated inflammatory markers. All infants received meropenem-based therapy, and 40% of cases required surgical intervention. No acute infection-related mortality occurred. Literature review of adult cases (n=30) showed a direct mortality of 36.7%, often associated with unresolved infection sources and severe sepsis.
