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

objectiveTo evaluate the effect of risk assessment in operating room infection control based on a hazard vulnerability analysis and refined process management, to clarify the weaknesses of infection control in operating rooms, and to provide evidence for the clinical prevention and control measures.

methodsA refined risk assessment scale was designed based on a hazard vulnerability analysis and refined process management by screening the incidents related to operating room infections and determining the weighted coefficients. A total of 84 patients who underwent surgical treatment in our hospital from February 2018 to March 2020 were enrolled as the study subjects according to convenience sampling and randomly assigned into an observation group and a control group, with 42 patients in each group. The observation group patients were treated and cared for following a risk assessment based on a hazard vulnerability analysis and refined process management. The control group patients underwent conventional management. The effect of the risk assessment based on a hazard vulnerability analysis and refined process management for infection control was evaluated by comparing the hazard specific risk values, the infection incidents, and the two groups' nursing satisfaction.

resultsAfter the intervention, the observation group had lower hazard specific risk values (all P<0.05), fewer infection incidents (P=0.044), and a higher patient satisfaction rate (P=0.047) than the control group.

conclusionThe treatment and nursing intervention for the patients based on the risk assessment improved the efficiency of the risk management, reduced the number of infection incidents, increased the patient satisfaction rate, and improved the clinical efficacy for the surgery patients. Our findings provide a data reference for operating room infection control and prevention.
