Infection Control in Limited Resources Countries: Challenges and Priorities.

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
purpose of reviewThe purpose of this article is to review the current status of health care-related infections (HCRI) in low- and middle-income countries (LMIC). RECENT
findingsHCRI in LMIC are being recognized as an important health problem globally. Despite important efforts, complex medical and non-medical problems prevail. The HCRI burden in LMIC is bigger than in developed countries, with prevalence between 5.7 and 19.1%. The impact on patients, their families, and the hospital systems is high, but has been largely underestimated. During the last 30 years, some progress has been made, with an increased awareness from the medical community and some very successful programs; however, there is a huge gap for improvement and success. In many health care facilities, there is a need of functional surveillance programs, continuous supply of antiseptics, safe water supply, personal protective equipment, essential antibiotics to treat infections, appropriate number of health care personnel trained in infection control, and appropriate health care infrastructure and political commitment.
