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

Hospital-acquired infections have been a wide-ranging concern in the medical field, as it increases mortality and incurs longer hospital stays and higher medical costs. Infection control practices and antimicrobial stewardship are thought to be emergent measures to curtail hospital-acquired infections, but adherence to such standard practices has been a concern globally, ultimately leading to poor clinical outcomes. Organisms isolated from rare sources have been reported to cause pathogenic infections in humans. Instances such as contamination of intravenous fluids and parenteral medications with gram-negative bacteria and fungus have been reported in the past. We present here, a rare outbreak of How to cite this article: Rajachandran K, Varghese GS, Kumar JV, Mathew KT. Outbreak of Nosocomial Infection from an Unusual Source.
