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

Background and aim: The coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19) pandemic is a global threat spreading like a wildfire and taking the world by its storm. It has challenged the healthcare delivery systems and disrupted them in a way no one ever imagined before. We at Apollo Hospitals, Chennai, Tamil Nadu, India received many patients in the COVID critical care unit (CCU) and found a gradual lack of bundle care compliance resulting in an upsurge of central line-associated bloodstream infection (CLABSI) amid the patients. Materials and methods: A qualitative research approach and quasi-experimental research design were selected to assess the knowledge of the 150 frontline COVID CCU nurses regarding the CLABSI bundle and its prevention strategies. Results: This study revealed that 57% [mean (M) = 12.6; standard deviation (SD) = 2.37] of nurses had inadequate knowledge of the CLABSI bundle and its prevention strategies, in the pretest and scored 80% (M = 6.7; SD = 2.28) in the post-test, with " Conclusion: Nurses are on the frontline in preventing and controlling healthcare-associated infections (HAIs). Fighting with all the visible and invisible challenges, our research focused on hands-on training for frontline warriors to adhere to the CLABSI bundle care which drove us to the reduction in preventable CLABSI rate in our hospital through improved CLABSI bundle compliance.
