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

backgroundCatheter-related bloodstream infection (CR-BSI) stands as one of the leading causes of hospital-acquired infections, often resulting in high healthcare expenditure and mortality rates. Despite efforts, reducing the incidence of CR-BSI remains a significant challenge.

objectiveThis study aimed to assess the impact of a multidisciplinary organizational intervention on reducing intravenous CR-BSI.

methodsA quality improvement team was established to implement various interventions, utilizing the FOCUS-PDCA continuous quality improvement model and fishbone diagram for analysis and improvement.

resultsAfter the interventions, operational indicators for catheter insertion, maintenance, and removal improved from 82.50% ± 1.15%, 83.60% ± 1.60%, and 81.60% ± 1.80-95.30% ± 1.00%, 96.20% ± 1.62%, and 97.25% ± 0.50%, respectively. Additionally, catheter dwell time decreased from 7.50 ± 0.85 days to 3.50 ± 0.75 days, and the quarterly infection rate was reduced from 2.328% ± 1.85-0.305% ± 0.95% following the implementation of the intervention. DISCUSSION: Despite the available evidence, there remains a noticeable gap between the ideal evidence-based practices and their practical implementation. We aim to eradicate CR-BSIs within the surgical intensive care units (ICUs) of hospitals. To achieve this goal, we have introduced a comprehensive quality improvement framework designed not only to benefit our own ICU but also to serve as a model for implementation in other similar healthcare settings.
