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

backgroundNeonatal sepsis is a significant cause of morbidity and mortality, especially in developing countries. Periodic assessment and documentation of clinical and bacteriological profiles and antibiotic susceptibility patterns of neonatal sepsis across geographic regions is essential to guide rational management. METHODOLOGY: This observational, cross-sectional study was conducted at the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) of Mahatma Gandhi Mission (MGM) Medical College and Hospital, Aurangabad, from September 2022 to June 2024. A total of 200 neonates between 28 and 42 weeks of gestation with either clinical or culture-proven sepsis were enrolled. Clinical and demographic data were collected using a structured proforma, and blood cultures were performed using standard microbiological methods. Antimicrobial susceptibility testing was conducted according to Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute (CLSI) guidelines.

resultsOut of 200 neonates, 123 (61.5%) were males and 77 (38.5%) females, with the majority being preterm and low birth weight (LBW). Culture positivity was seen in 53 (26.5%) cases.
