Implementing a multidisciplinary care bundle to reduce colon surgical site infections.

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
purposeThe aim of this study was to investigate how rates of surgical site infections (SSI) were changed over 2 years after applying colon SSI bundle in patients who underwent colon surgery.
methodsThe multidisciplinary working group developed a care bundle consisting of 8 components, including several recommendations of Surgical Care Improvement Project and monitoring of medical/surgical hand washing. We implemented the care bundle for each patient who underwent colon surgery from April 2013 to December 2014.
resultsOverall bundle compliance was 87.9% before implementation, 88.2% in 2013, and 90.5% in 2014. In particular, compliance of the following 3 components was substantial improved during the project period; discontinuation of prophylactic antimicrobial agent within 24 hours of surgery (from 88.3% to 100%), surgical hand washing (from 50.0% to 78.9%), and medical hand washing (from 74.7% to 82.8%). The rate of SSI was 8.0% (12/150) during 3 months before implementation, 3.3% (16/480) from April to December in 2013, and 2.3% (14/607) in 2014.
conclusionAfter implementation of multidisciplinary care bundle, the compliance of each component was increased and rates of SSIs were significantly decreased compared to those before the quality improvement project.
