1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

Since 1995, ASET has published recommendations for infection prevention. With the aim of keeping our readers current with updates in infection prevention initiatives, this article reviews ASET's past publications by Altman 1995, Altman 2000, Scott 2013, and Sullivan & Altman 2008, and incorporates new information from published scientific literature, online resources, print publications, national and international guidelines, OSHA and other regulatory agencies. Knowledge of current infection control practices and recommendations is essential for every Neurodiagnostic technologist, whether working in a hospital, an ambulatory setting, intensive care unit or in the operating room. All technologists who have direct patient contact are responsible for ensuring use of best practices to prevent the spread of infection.
