Bundles of care for prevention of ventilator-associated pneumonia caused by carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae in the ICU.
Article in American journal of translational research, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
objectiveTo investigate the treatment efficacy of bundles of care for the prevention of ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP) caused by carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae in the intensive care unit (ICU).
methodsA total of 102 patients undergoing mechanical ventilation in the ICU of our hospital were randomly assigned into a research group (n=51, bundles of care) and a control group (n=51, routine care). The incidence of VAP, pathogenic bacteria in the sputum, outcome and medication compliance (Morisky medication adherence scale (MMAS) score) of patients as well as the hand hygiene rate of nurses were compared between the two groups.
resultsThe research group showed significantly shorter time of mechanical ventilation and ICU stay, lower incidence of VAP and less ICU hospitalization costs than the control group (all P<0.05). The detection rate of pathogenic bacteria in the research group was significantly lower than that in the control group (P<0.01). Both the MMAS score and the hand hygiene rate of nurses were higher in the research group than in the control group (both P<0.01). The mortality of the research group was significantly lower than that of the control group (P<0.05).
conclusionBundles of care for patients undergoing mechanical ventilation in ICU can greatly shorten the time of mechanical ventilation, reduce nosocomial infection, decrease the incidence of VAP and the mortality, and is conducive to improving the hand hygiene of nurses and the medication compliance of patients.
