[Prophylaxis against infections after needle stick injuries].
Article in Der Unfallchirurg, 2012. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
backgroundNeedle stick injuries are associated with a risk of infection. The aim of this study was to collate the reasons for the failure to carry out prophylactic measures from the perspective of those affected.
methodsAn anonymous internet questionnaire was designed to record the experiences of health care workers at the University Hospital Rostock with secondary infection prophylaxis after needle stick injuries.
resultsDuring the investigation period 106 questionnaires were returned. There were deficiencies in the acceptance of prophylactic measures due to job-associated lack of time and social pressure.
conclusionThe study suggests reorganization of work-flows and additional educational measures about the necessity of prophylactic procedures after needle stick injuries.
