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

Although HH (HH) practices can prevent healthcare related infections, low compliance is a major concern. We evaluated HH using a WHO observational tool and HH self-assessment framework (HHSAF) in 30 individuals in a mix of healthcare professions, before and after the implementation of the framework. In 182 opportunities to demonstrate HH practices, pre-implementation scores were assessed across five different domains including system change, training, and evaluation and feedback. Post-implementation scores obtained after 12 months showed HH compliance of 53%, with highest improvements seen across evaluation and feedback domain. The compliance rates after exposure to body fluids was 100%.
