Catheter-Associated Urinary Tract Infections, Bacteremia, and Infection Control Interventions in a Hospital: A Six-Year Time-Series Study.
Article in Journal of clinical medicine, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
Catheter-associated urinary tract infections (CAUTIs) are among the most common healthcare-associated infections. Urine catheters are often reservoirs of multidrug-resistant (MDR) bacteria and sources of pathogens transmission to other patients. The current study was conducted to investigate the correlation between CAUTIs, MDR bacteremia, and infection control interventions, in a tertiary-care hospital in Athens, from 2013 to 2018. The following data were analyzed per month: 1. CAUTI incidence; 2. consumption of hand hygiene disinfectants; 3. incidence of isolation of MDR carrier patients, and 4.incidence of bacteremia/1000 patient-days [total resistant a.Gram-negative: carbapenem-resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Acinetobacter baumannii, and Klebsiella pneumoniae; b.Gram-positive: vancomycin-resistant Enterococci and methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus]. The use of scrub disinfectant solutions was associated with decreased CAUTI rate in Total Hospital Clinics (OR: 0.97, 95% CI: 0.96−0.98, p-value: <0.001) and in Adults ICU (OR: 0.79, 95% CI: 0.65−0.96, p-value:0.018) while no correlation was found with isolation rate of MDR-carrier pathogens. Interestingly, an increase in total bacteremia (OR: 0.81, 95% CI: 0.75−0.87, p-value:<0.001) or carbapenem-resistant bacteremia correlated with decreased incidence of CAUTIs (OR: 0.96, 95% CI: 0.94−0.99, p-value: 0.008). Hand hygiene measures had a robust and constant effect on infection control, reducing the incidence of CAUTIs.
