ArticleInfection prevention in practice2023
The effectiveness of a dedicated central venous access care team to prevent catheter-related bloodstream infection in a private hospital.
Article in Infection prevention in practice, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
Objective: We hypothesized a dedicated team would decrease catheter-related bloodstream infection (CRBSI) rates. Method: We implemented a before-after study. Results: CRBSI frequency (39/103 vs. 28/105, P=0.084) and incidence (36.61/1000 vs. 26.1/1000 catheter-days, Conclusion: The intervention delayed median time to CRBSI, but was insufficient to decrease overall rates.
