Impact of long-term care facilities' size on adherence to COVID-19' infection prevention guidance.

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
objectiveto evaluate the adherence of Brazilian long-term care facilities to the World Health Organization Infection Prevention and Control guidance, and assess the association of their size with the adherence to these recommendations.
methodcross-sectional study conducted with facilities' managers. Authors developed a 20-item questionnaire based on this guidance, and a global score of adherence, based on the adoption of these recommendations. Adherence was classified as (1) excellent for those who attended ≥14 out of 20 recommendations; (2) good for 10 to 13 items; and (3) low for those with less than ten items. Facilities' sizes were established as small, intermediate, and large according to a two-step cluster analysis. Descriptive statistics and chi-square tests were used at a 5% significance level.
resultsamong 362 included facilities, 308 (85.1%) adhered to 14 or more recommendations. Regarding its size, adherence to screening COVID-19 symptoms of visitors (p=0.037) and isolating patients until they have had two negative laboratory tests (p=0.032) were lower on larger ones compared to medium and small facilities.
conclusionadherence to COVID-19 mitigation measures in Brazilian facilities was considered excellent for most of the recommendations, regardless of the size of the units.
