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: Mitigating the risk of nosocomial infection is one of the core functions of healthcare managers in hospital environments. This study aimed to describe the COVID-19 outbreak response in a tertiary healthcare facility in Nigeria. Methods: A qualitative cross-sectional study was conducted among representatives of Heads of Infection Control Committees and units, the Accident and Emergency unit, Family Medicine unit, and Private Suites on the COVID-19 outbreak response at the University College Hospital, Ibadan, Nigeria. Data were analyzed using Colaizzi's phenomenological method. Results: Overall, seven (six physicians and one nurse) HCWs were interviewed; six (71.4%) males and two (28.6%) females. The average age of the key informants was 45 ± 4.73 years. Four themes were identified. Theme one "Essentials of screening protocol and screening area" described the development of screening protocol, and dedication of a triage area. Theme two "Infection prevention and control within consultation premises" detailed adequate spacing; hand hygiene, use of personal protective equipment; environmental sanitation; and waste management. Theme three "Mounting up surveillance in the response activity" specified communication with the Disease Surveillance Unit; and surveillance activities. Theme four "Training and psychosocial support for staff " described staff training, and provision of psychosocial care to infected staff. Conclusion: The COVID-19 outbreak measures implemented by the management of the University College Hospital, Ibadan were aimed at ensuring that the hospital does not get overwhelmed by the surge in COVID-19 cases. In order to improve outbreak response in hospital settings, it is important to undertake training, modify hospital practices, and evaluate implemented measures.
