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

Knowledge of epidemiology is essential for guiding correct antibiotic prescription, reducing bacteremia-associated mortality, and implementing targeted infection control programs. However, only a few studies have reported on the epidemiology of bloodstream infections (BSIs) in pediatrics. We performed a retrospective analysis of all BSIs (excluding those caused by common skin contaminants) diagnosed from 2006 to 2022 in patients younger than 18 years who were treated at an Italian pediatric tertiary care hospital. Overall, 2395 BSIs were recorded, including 2207 (92.15%) due to bacteria and 188 (7.85%) due to fungi. The incidence rate (BSIs/10,000 hospital discharges, IR) of bacterial BSIs significantly increased during the study period. In particular, BSIs caused by
