A Meta-Analysis on Evaluation of Nosocomial Infections Amongst Patients in a Tertiary Care Hospital.
Synthesis in Journal of healthcare engineering, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It has been retracted, and should not be counted. Cited by 3 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
Background: Hospital-acquired infections, also known as nosocomial infections, are one of the many severe outcomes amongst patients in tertiary care hospitals. Hospital-acquired influenza is amongst the most common infection which has affected huge population. Objective: We have performed a meta-analysis in order to summarize the effects of epidemiology and clinical characteristics in HAI. Methods: We performed literature review with help of PubMed, Cochrane Library, Embase, Scopus, Web of Science, China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI), The Global Index Medicus (GIM), and other clinical databases till 2021. Many random models were used in order to obtain pooled proportions, mean difference, odds ratio, and CI. Results: A total of six studies were analyzed, where a total of 491 nosocomial and 4030 nonnosocomial infection cases were reported. The odds ratio of mortality was 0.02 with 95% CI and the risk ration for males was 1.08 with 95% CI. Conclusion: The proportion of nosocomial infections in cases of influenza was higher in patients admitted in tertiary care hospitals. Thus, a surveillance system for vaccination for all the high-risk patients must be made mandatory.
