Is central line type an independent risk factor of central line-associated bloodstream infection in a neonatal intensive care unit population? Experiences at a pediatric hospital in South Texas.

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: Central line-associated bloodstream infection (CLABSI) causes significant harm in neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) patients. However, data regarding risk factors and prevention strategies for CLABSI in NICU patients is limited. Objective: To examine risk factors for CLABSI in a NICU population, with particular interest in central line type and site placement. Design: Retrospective case-control study. Setting: NICU (Level IV, 67 bed) at a pediatric hospital in South Texas. Participants: All central line insertions and subsequent CLABSI cases were extracted from the EHR for NICU admissions occurring from January 1, 2018, to November 3, 2022 ( Methods: Central line insertions resulting in CLABSI ( Results: Multivariate risk factors include implantable device (odds ratio [OR] = 14.5, Conclusions: Implantable central lines are an independent risk factor for CLABSI in NICU patients at this facility.
