Investigation and Analysis of Infection among Inpatients in a Tertiary Hospital in Shanghai.
Article in Computational and mathematical methods in medicine, 2022. 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 It has been retracted, and should not be counted.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 2 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
Objectives: This study is aimed at obtaining information about the prevalence of nosocomial infections (NIs) and the use of antibiotics in hospitalized patients and providing relevant references for further understanding, preventing, and controlling NIs. Methods: The medical records of adult patients admitted to a hospital in Shanghai from November to December 2021 were analyzed. The patients were divided into the NI group, community-acquired infection (CAI) group, and uninfected or healed group according to their infection status. The survey results were summarized and analyzed. Results: A total of 1485 patients were investigated, including 115 patients in the NI group, 172 patients in the CAI group, and 1198 patients in the uninfected or healed group. In the NI group, the main infection site was intra-abdominal tissue (49.6%), followed by lower respiratory tract (unrelated to application of catheters) (13%). There were 73 pathogens detected in the samples submitted from the NI group, mainly including 8 cases (11%) of Conclusion: This study provides a scientific basis for effective control of NIs. Strict implementation of aseptic techniques, reduction of invasive operations, and rational use of anti-infective drugs can minimize the incidence of nosocomial infection to ultimately achieve effective prevention and control of NIs.
