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

COVID-19 infection rates in haemodialysis (HD) facilities are extremely high and are attributed to the high burden of comorbidities of HD patients coupled with inability to self-isolate needing thrice weekly attendance for HD treatment. Healthcare workers (HCW) in HD facilities are at risk of occupational exposure to COVID-19. Infection prevention control (IPC) measures were introduced during the pandemic aiming at reducing transmission and occupational exposure risk of COVID-19. Here we describe the results of our baseline and follow up occupational exposure audit in a renal centre in the North West of England following the implementation of a multifaceted IPC bundle.
