Incidence of catheter-related infections in hospitalized cardiovascular patients.
Article in Research in cardiovascular medicine, 2013. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
backgroundCatheter Related Blood stream Infections (CRBSI) are prevalent and a potentially fatal complication pertaining to cardiovascular implant devices. There have been no major studies on bacterial colonization of catheters in cardiovascular patients in Iran.
objectivesTo evaluate the incidence of catheter colonization of bacteria in the largest Iranian cardiovascular center. PATIENTS AND
methodsMarch 2011 to 2012, Cauterization procedures performed on 60 patients hospitalized in Rajaie Cardiovascular Medical and Research Center, Tehran, Iran, with arterial or venous catheterization, inserted 48 hours or more, catheter evaluations done by culture methods. Blood cultures were also obtained simultaneously.
resultsForty-four out of 60 catheters (73.3%) were positive with a significant colony count. Of 44 positive cases, 11 patients had positive blood culture. Three most frequently isolated microorganisms were Staph Albus [14 (32%)], Entrococcu [12 (27%)] and Acinetobacter [5 (11%)]. gram-positive cocci were sensitive to Vancomycin and Linezolid and gram-negative bacilli were sensitive to Amikacin, Gentamicin, Tobramycin and Imipenem.
conclusionsThe study findings revealed that the catheter infection in our patients had sources other than normal skin flora. These results will assist in determining the possible source of the infections, furthermore, how they are transmitted, moreover aid in controlling and preventing these dangerous in- infections.
