Practice and attitudes regarding double gloving among staff surgeons and surgical trainees.
Observational study in Canadian journal of surgery. Journal canadien de chirurgie, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 12 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
backgroundDespite supporting evidence, many staff surgeons and surgical trainees do not routinely double glove. We performed a study to assess rates of and attitudes toward double gloving and the use of eye protection in the operating room.
methodsWe conducted an electronic survey among all staff surgeons and surgical trainees at 2 tertiary care centres in Alberta between September and November 2015.We analyzed the data using log-binomial regression for binary outcomes to account for multiple independent variables and interactions. For 2-group comparisons, we used a 2-group test of proportions.
resultsThe response rate was 34.3% (361/1051); 205/698 staff surgeons (29.4%) and 156/353 surgical trainees (44.2%) responded. Trainees were more likely than staff surgeons to ever double glove in the operating room (
conclusionRates of double gloving leave room for improvement. Surgical trainees were more likely than staff surgeons to double glove. Barriers remain to routine double gloving among staff surgeons and trainees. Increased education on the benefits of double gloving and early introduction of this practice may increase uptake.
