Prevalence of nosocomial infections at the Centre Hospitalier Universitaire du Point G in Bamako, Mali.
Article in Revue malienne d'infectiologie et de microbiologie, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
The aim of this study was to determine the hospital prevalence of nosocomial infections. Patients and methods: This was a prospective cross-sectional descriptive study conducted over a period of six (6) weeks. Results: 463 patients stayed for at least 48 hours. Of these, 57 patients were included, representing a prevalence of 12.3%. Mean age was 45.4 ± 20.8 years. Average length of stay was 21.7 ± 12.7 days. Patients came from intensive care (17.5%), internal medicine and neurology (15.8% each). HIV immunodepression was found in 14%. An invasive device was present in 93% of cases. Microbiological samples taken were: urine cytobacteriological examination (36 cases), pus sampling (19 cases), blood culture (23 cases). Infections were urinary (30 cases), surgical site (16 cases), bacteremia (15 cases), ventilator-associated pneumonia (2 cases). A germ was isolated from these samples in 94.4% of cases. The germs found were enterobacteria (33 cases), non-fermenting Gram-negative bacilli (12 cases), Gram-positive cocci (6 cases) and yeasts (3 cases). The ecology was dominated by a high level of resistance among the germs involved in these infections. Conclusion: This study showed a high prevalence of nosocomial infections, with a varied resistance profile of the germs involved. It is important to extend this work in order to learn from it.
