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

Objective: This study aimed to investigate and contain a cluster of invasive candidiasis cases caused by fluconazole-resistant Methods: Active surveillance was initiated. Direct observations of hand-hygiene compliance (HHC) among staff were conducted before and after the implementation of hand-hygiene (HH) education. Thirty-five environmental cultures were obtained. Phylogenetic analysis of FRC was performed using Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy and microsatellite genotyping. Results: A total of 14 patients (mean birth weight = 860 g, gestational age = 25 weeks) infected with FRC were identified using the fully automated analyzer, including 5 with clinical infection (three with catheter-related bloodstream infection, one with cutaneous infection, and one with fatal peritonitis) and 9 with colonization. The HHC rate in nurses before performing a sterile or aseptic procedure significantly improved after the HH education ( Conclusions: Sinks are an important reservoir of
