Utilizing a line maintenance team to reduce central-line-associated bloodstream infections in a neonatal intensive care unit.
Article in Journal of perinatology : official journal of the California Perinatal Association, 2012. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 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
objectiveTo determine the association of a central-line maintenance team on the incidence of central-line-associated bloodstream infections (CLABSIs) in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU). STUDY
designCentral line maintenance in the NICU was limited to a line team starting in March 2008. CLABSI rates were determined before (December 2006 to February 2008) and after implementation of the line team ( March 2008 to August 2010) utilizing consistent National Healthcare Safety Network definitions. Rates were calculated by birth weight categories and overall. Data analysis was performed by two-proportion t test using Minitab.
resultOverall CLABSI decreased by 65% after implementation of the line team. Pre intervention, mean overall CLABSI rate was 11.6 /1000, as compared with 4.0/1000 after intervention (P<0.001). Birth-weight-specific CLABSI rates also decreased significantly. Decreased infection rates were sustained over time.
conclusionA line team provided for standardized, consistent central-line maintenance care leading to a significant, sustained decrease in CLABSI in a NICU.
