Successful management of an outbreak due to carbapenem-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii in a neonatal intensive care unit.
Trial report in European journal of pediatrics, 2015. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 15 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
unlabelledThe investigation and successful management of a monoclonal Acinetobacter baumannii outbreak in a neonatal intensive care unit are described. Upon the first clustered carbapenem-resistant A. baumannii (CRAB) infections, a bundle of actions were taken, including enhanced infection control, active surveillance (weekly stool samples), case-control study, staff education, daily audits and discontinuation of new admissions. Between September and December 2011, eight neonates developed 10 CRAB infections (five blood, four respiratory and one eye). A total of 216 active surveillance cultures were obtained from 96 neonates (43 % had ≥2 samples). During weeks 12, 16 and 17, active surveillance detected 3, 1 and 2 new CRAB acquisitions, respectively. Prevalence of infections/colonizations decreased, and no event occurred after 20th week. A colonized neonate developed CRAB sepsis and died. All CRAB isolates harboured bla OXA-58 and the intrinsic chromosomal bla OXA-51 carbapenemase genes.
conclusionActive surveillance and enhanced infection control measures effectively contained spread of CRAB clone in the neonatal intensive care unit.
