"The multimodal approach for ventilator-associated pneumonia prevention"-requirements for nationwide implementation.
Review in Annals of translational medicine, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 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
The multimodal approach for ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP) prevention has been shown to be a successful strategy in reducing VAP rates in many intensive care units (ICU) in some countries. The simultaneous application of several measures or "bundles" to reduce VAP rates has achieved a higher impact than the progressive implementation of the individual interventions. The ultimate objective of recommendation bundles is their integration in the culture of routine healthcare of the staff in charge of ventilated patients for accomplished rates to persist over time. The noteworthy elements of this new strategy include the selection of the individual recommendations of the bundle, education of care workers (HCW) in the culture of patient safety, audit of compliance with the recommendations, commitment of the hospital management to support implementation, nomination and empowerment of local leaders of the projects in ICUs, both physicians and nurses, and the continuous collection of VAP episodes. The implementation of this new strategy is not an easy task, as both its inherent strength and important barriers to its application have become evident, which need to be overcome for maximal reduction of VAP rates.
