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

Objective: Neonatal sepsis continues to be one of the leading causes of morbidity and death, particularly in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). This study aimed to evaluate the microbiological etiology, temporal trends, and antibiotic resistance patterns in a tertiary neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) over a six-year period. Methods: This retrospective study included neonates admitted to a tertiary neonatal intensive care unit between 2018 and 2024. Early-onset infections were defined as infections occurring within the first 72 hours of life, while late-onset infections were defined as infections occurring after 72 hours. Logistic regression analysis was used to assess temporal trends and identify factors associated with multidrug-resistant infection. Results: Microbial growth was observed in 891 (30.0%) of the total samples. A total of 891 isolates (30.0% of all samples) with complete data were included in the final study after duplicate and contaminated isolates were removed. Among these isolates, 472 (53.0%) were Conclusion: This six-year study reveals a significant burden of neonatal infections in the NICU, with
