Can cleaning processes based on ozone be used for high-touch surfaces in nursing homes in areas critical for infection control?

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
In terms of infection control, environmental cleaning is critical in nursing homes, including long term care facilities. According to the statement of the Commission of Hospital Hygiene and Infection Prevention (KRINKO) at the Robert Koch Institute Berlin on the requirements for disinfectants in these areas, procedures should be used that have been certified by the Association for Applied Hygiene (VAH) for the necessary spectrum of efficacy (or are listed accordingly in the disinfectant list of the Robert Koch Institute). Since ozone is a powerfully oxidizing gas with high inhalation toxicity, the conditions of ap-plication and the measures for occupational safety - including ensuring that the limit value in indoor air is not exceeded when handling and using the product -, must be declared by the manufacturer and observed by the staff to exclude toxic long-term hazard.
