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
backgroundPatient safety is a priority in all health-care centers across the world. This study aimed to determine the frequency of events that threaten patient safety and the grade threating of events from the perspective of the health-care professionals in the intensive care units (ICUs). MATERIALS AND
methodsThis cross-sectional study was conducted in 2016. The participants were 306 members of health-care professionals (physicians and nurses) with at least 1 year of work experience in ICUs of educational hospitals affiliated to Isfahan University of Medical Sciences. Data were collected using a three-section self-made questionnaire. Data analysis was done using descriptive statistics (frequency distribution and percentage) and version 16 of SPSS software.
resultsA total of 306 questionnaires were completed out of 320 questionnaires handed out among participants. During the last month, 91.2% of the participants had reported at least a case of medication error, 75.6% had reported at least a case of ventilator-associated pneumonia, and 74.2% had reported at least a case of catheter-induced urinary infection in ICUs.
conclusionThe occurrence of events threatening the patient safety in ICUs warrants proper planning by administrators of health-care centers. Medication error was the most frequent and important event of threat to patient safety and falling was the least frequent event of threat to patient safety in ICUs. Considering the frequency and magnitude of medication error in ICUs, a well-adjusted preventive plan should be designed and implemented to improve the patient safety.
