Development and validation of a competency evaluation model for hospital infection prevention and control practitioners in the post-pandemic era: a mixed methods study.
Article in The Journal of hospital infection, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
backgroundDuring the coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic, the management of nosocomial infections became even more crucial. There is an urgent need to develop a competency model for healthcare practitioners to combat public health emergencies.
aimTo determine practitioners' competency in hospital infection prevention and control measures.
methodsA theoretical framework was developed based on a literature review, key informant interviews, the Delphi method and a questionnaire survey. These items were evaluated based on response rate, maximum score, minimum score and mean score. Factor analyses, both exploratory and confirmatory, were used to determine the structure of the competency model.
resultsThe effective response rate for the questionnaire was 88.29%, and Cronbach's α-coefficient was 0.964. Factor analysis revealed a Kaiser-Meyer-Olkin score of 0.945. Bartlett's test gave a χ
conclusionThe proposed scale is a useful tool to assess the competency of hospital infection prevention and control practitioners, which can help hospitals to improve infection prevention and control.
