Protecting Newborns from Multidrug-Resistant Infections: The Emerging Role of Bacteriophages.
Review in Viruses, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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.
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
Newborns may suffer from dangerous bacterial infections caused by life-threatening multi-drug resistant pathogens. Thus, despite bactericidal capabilities of antibiotics, microorganisms are known to circumvent this therapy, and a new, more effective type of remedy is needed. An increasingly recognized strategy for addressing these challenges is the use of bacteriophages-viruses infecting bacteria-collectively referred to as phage therapy. Nonetheless, the research considering phage therapy amongst newborns is still at a pioneering stage, owing to the scarcity of systematic investigations and the prevalence of case-study data, leaving room for further discovery and analysis. This review summarizes the information needed to understand this complex issue, considering the description of pathogens causing infections affecting newborns, the formation of the early microbiota and phageome (defining its composition followed by an influence on immune system development), and the possible use of bacteriophages in the treatment, which may be complicated by ethical concerns.
