Waterborne Outbreaks in Hemodialysis Patients and Infection Prevention.
Article in Open forum infectious diseases, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 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
Individuals treated with dialysis are at high risk for healthcare-associated infections. We conducted a literature review of outbreaks associated with water in hemodialysis during years 2011-2021 to understand the role of water as a source of infections for patients receiving hemodialysis with a focus on the risks associated with dialysis water and dialysate. For dialysis patients, water and dialysate have been a source of healthcare-associated pathogens, including nontuberculous mycobacteria and gram-negative bacilli as well as systemic reactions due to gram-negative bacilli-associated endotoxin. Lapses in infection prevention practices and dialysis water management were primarily involved in waterborne outbreaks. Dialysis clinics should adhere to recommendations regarding monitoring and levels of bacteria and endotoxin in hemodialysis water and dialysate. Since hemodialysis patients are at increased risk of healthcare-associated infections, it is important for healthcare personnel to adhere to infection prevention guidelines in hemodialysis patient care, especially hand hygiene, aseptic technique, cleaning/disinfection, and water management.
