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

There is large heterogeneity in approaches to tackling nosocomial outbreaks caused by carbapenemase-producing Enterobacterales (CPE), however there is limited guidance on how to approach their management. Rapid and robust infection prevention and control interventions can be effective in preventing and reducing the impact of outbreaks in healthcare environments. We present a stepwise approach to aspects of CPE outbreak management, including the development of an action plan, engagement and communication with key stakeholders, developing a dynamic risk assessment, and staff education. These can provide a blueprint for organisations to create templates and checklists to inform their own outbreak response.
