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
Background: Canadians experience increased morbidity, mortality and healthcare costs due to healthcare-associated infections (HAIs) and antimicrobial resistance (AMR). The Canadian Nosocomial Infection Surveillance Program (CNISP) collects and utilizes epidemiologic and laboratory surveillance data to inform infection prevention and control and antimicrobial stewardship programs and policies. The objective of this report is to describe the epidemiologic and laboratory characteristics and trends of HAIs and AMR from 2016 to 2020 using surveillance data provided by Canadian hospitals participating in the CNISP. Methods: Data were collected from 87 Canadian sentinel acute care hospitals between January 1, 2016, and December 31, 2020, for Results: From 2016 to 2020, increases in rates per 10,000 patient days were observed for MRSA bloodstream infections (33%; 0.84-1.12, Conclusion: Surveillance findings from a national network of Canadian acute care hospitals indicate that rates of MRSA and VRE bloodstream infections, CPE infections and colonizations have increased substantially between 2016 and 2020 while rates of CDI have decreased. The collection of detailed, standardized surveillance data and the consistent application of infection prevention and control practices in acute care hospitals are critical in reducing the burden of HAIs and AMR infections in Canada. Further investigations into the impact of coronavirus disease 2019 and associated public health measures are underway.
