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

objectiveTo analyze adherence to standard precautions by healthcare professionals and associated factors during the COVID-19 pandemic in Brazilian university hospitals.

methodMulticenter study, with a mixed approach, with a concomitant incorporated strategy and a sample of 559 health professionals and 53 managers from five university hospitals in Southern Brazil. Data collected online from September 2020 to October 2021 with the Instrument of Variables Related to Standard Precautions and sociodemographic and pandemic-related variables. Descriptive and inferential statistical analysis (Mann-Whitney and Kruskal-Wallis test) and content analysis were performed.

resultsHigh level of adherence to standard precautions, with a significant association with having children (p = 0.014); COVID area (p < 0.001), biosafety training (p = 0.018), and social distancing (p < 0.001). The testimonies demonstrated a high risk perception and search for the use of protective equipment and biosafety knowledge.

conclusionHigh adherence to standard precautions, associated with having children, working in COVID-19 care units, receiving biosafety guidance/training at the institution and practicing social distancing.
