Device-associated infections in Canadian acute-care hospitals from 2009 to 2018.
Article in Canada communicable disease report = Releve des maladies transmissibles au Canada, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
backgroundHealthcare-associated infections (HAIs) pose a serious risk to patient safety and quality of care. The Canadian Nosocomial Infection Surveillance Program (CNISP) conducts national surveillance of HAIs at sentinel acute-care hospitals across Canada. This report provides an overview of 10 years of Canadian data on the epidemiology of select device-associated HAIs.
methodsOver 40 hospitals submitted data between 2009 and 2018 for hip and knee surgical site infections (SSIs), cerebrospinal fluid shunt SSIs, paediatric cardiac SSIs and/or central line-associated bloodstream infections (CLABSIs). Counts, rates, patient and hospital characteristics, as well as pathogen distributions and antimicrobial susceptibilities are presented.
resultsA total of 4,300 device-associated infections were reported. Central line-associated bloodstream infections were the most common device-associated HAI reported (n=2,973, 69%) and hip and knee arthroplasty infections were the most common SSIs reported (66% of SSIs). Our findings show decreasing CLABSI rates in neonatal intensive care units (4.2 to 1.9 per 1,000 line-days,
conclusionUnderstanding the national burden of device-associated HAIs is essential for developing and maintaining benchmark rates for informing infection and prevention control and antimicrobial stewardship policies and programs.
