Tracheal tube infections in critical care: A narrative review of influencing factors, microbial agents, and mitigation strategies in intensive care unit settings.
Review in SAGE open medicine, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
Tracheal tube infections pose significant challenges in the management of mechanically ventilated patients in intensive care units. These infections contribute to prolonged intensive care unit stays, increased healthcare costs, the spread of antibiotic resistance, and poor patient outcomes. This study aims to elucidate the complex relationship between environmental factors, hospital practices, and the incidence of tracheal tube infections. Our comprehensive review explores the impact of factors such as air quality, water sources, equipment contamination, ventilation strategies, infection control protocols, and microbial reservoirs within hospital settings on tracheal tube infection rates. Additionally, it investigates global variations in tracheal tube infection prevalence, which are influenced by differences in healthcare infrastructure, infection control adherence, antibiotic resistance profiles, and patient demographics. Our findings highlight the importance of targeted interventions and collaborative approaches to reduce the burden of tracheal tube infections and improve patient care in intensive care units. By fully understanding the interplay between environmental conditions and hospital practices, effective prevention and management strategies can be developed to reduce the impact of tracheal tube infections on patient outcomes and healthcare resources, ultimately enhancing the quality of care in critical care settings.
