Nurses' compliance with central line associated blood stream infection prevention guidelines.
Observational study in Saudi medical journal, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 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
objectiveTo assess nurses' compliance with central line associated bloodstream infection (CLABSI) prevention guidelines related to maintenance of the central line and the predictors of compliance. Method: This was an observational study that used a descriptive cross-sectional design. A sample of 171 intensive care unit (ICU) nurses were observed and their compliance was recorded on a structured observational sheet. The study was conducted in the ICUs of 15 hospitals located in 5 cities in Jordan. Data were collected over a 5-month period from March to July 2017. Central lines were all inserted by physicians inside the ICUs.
resultsOne hundred and twenty participants (70%) showed sufficient compliance. The mean compliance scores were 14.2±4.7 (min=8, max=20); however, the rate of CLABSI was variable across the participating ICUs. Logistic regression with 4 independent variables (years of experience, previous education with CLABSI, nurse-patient ratio and the ICU's bed capacity) was conducted to investigate predictors of sufficient compliance. The model was significant (χ2(4)=133.773, p=0.00). The nurse-patient ratio was the only significant predictor. Nurses with a 1:1 nurse:patient ratio demonstrated superior compliance over their counterparts with a 1:2 ratio.
conclusionFurther improvement in compliance and patients' outcomes could be achieved by lowering the nurse-patient ratio.
