ArticleInfection prevention in practice2020
An overview of healthcare-associated infections in a tertiary care hospital in Egypt.

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 infection (HAI) is a major problem in healthcare facilities and is associated with increased morbidity and mortality and prolonged hospital stay. This study aims to determine the incidence rate, risk factors, and bacterial aetiology of HAI in a tertiary care hospital in Mansoura, Egypt.
methodsThis is a prospective observational study carried out over 12 months in different departments of Mansoura New General Hospital (MNGH). Data were collected from patient's records and laboratory results of the ongoing HAI surveillance program.
resultsThe incidence of HAI was 3.7% among 6912 patients studied. The independent predictors of HAI were multiple devices (AOR=88.1), central venous catheter (CVC) (AOR=34), urinary catheter (AOR=28.9) and length of stay >20 days (AOR=3.1). Surgical site infections (SSI) were the most frequent (24%) followed by catheter associated urinary tract infections (CAUTI) (20%). The most frequently isolated pathogens were
conclusionsHAI is a significant problem in MNGH.
