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

Purpose: Indwelling central venous catheters (CVCs) can cause catheter related bloodstream infection (CRBSI). CRBSI occurring in intensive care unit (ICU) patients may lead to the worse outcomes and extra medical costs. The present study aimed to assess the incidence and incidence density, pathogens and economic burden of CRBSI in ICU patients. Patients and Methods: A case-control study was retrospectively carried out in six ICUs of one hospital between July 2013 and June 2018. The Department of Infection Control performed routinely surveillance for CRBSI on these different ICUs. Data of the clinical and microbiological characteristics of patients with CRBSI, the incidence and incidence density of CRBSI in ICUs, the attributable length of stay (LOS), and the costs among patients with CRBSI in ICU were collected and assessed. Results: A total of 82 ICU patients with CRBSI were included into the study. The CRBSI incidence density was 1.27 per 1000 CVC-days in all ICUs, in which the highest was 3.52 per 1000 CVC-days in hematology ICU and the lowest was 0.14 per 1000 CVC-days in Special Procurement ICU. The most common pathogen causing CRBSI was Conclusion: The medical costs of ICU patients were closely related to the incidence of CRBSI. Imperative measures are needed to reduce CRBSI in ICU patients.
