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

This large-scale study, consisting of 21.3 million hand-hygiene opportunities from 19 distinct facilities in 10 different states, uses linear predictive models to expose factors that may affect hand-hygiene compliance. We examine the use of features such as temperature, relative humidity, influenza severity, day/night shift, federal holidays, and the presence of new medical residents in predicting daily hand-hygiene compliance; the investigation is undertaken using both a "global" model to glean general trends and facility-specific models to elicit facility-specific insights. The results suggest that colder temperatures and federal holidays have an adverse effect on hand-hygiene compliance rates, and that individual cultures and attitudes regarding hand hygiene exist among facilities.
