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: Healthcare-associated infections (HAIs) and antimicrobial resistance (AMR) continue to contribute to excess morbidity and mortality among Canadians. This report describes epidemiologic and laboratory characteristics and trends of HAIs and AMR from 2017 to 2021 ( Methods: Data collected from 88 Canadian sentinel acute care hospitals between January 1, 2017, and December 31, 2021, for Results: From 2017 to 2021, increased rates per 10,000 patient days were observed for MRSA BSIs (35%; 0.84-1.13), VRE BSIs (43%; 0.23-0.33) and CPE infections (166%, 0.03-0.08). CDI rates decreased 11% (5.68-5.05). Thirty-one Conclusion: From 2017 to 2021, the incidence of MRSA and VRE BSIs, and CPE infections increased in Canadian acute care hospitals participating in a national sentinel network (CNISP) while CDI decreased.
