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

Bacillus cereus is a bacterium capable of causing late-onset neonatal sepsis. By analyzing 11 cases, this study investigates the diagnosis, treatment, and prognosis of Bacillus cereus infections, aiming to provide insights into clinical diagnosis and therapy. The study scrutinized 11 instances of late-onset neonatal sepsis, including two fatalities attributable to Bacillus cereus, one accompanied by cerebral hemorrhage. An examination and analysis of these cases' symptoms, signs, laboratory tests, and treatment processes, along with a review of related literature from 2010 to 2020, revealed a high mortality rate of 41.38% in non-gastrointestinal infections caused by Bacillus cereus. Our findings underscore the critical importance of rapid diagnosis and effective antimicrobial therapy in reducing mortality rates. Once the source of infection is identified, implementing effective infection control measures is essential.
