The impact of COVID-19 pandemic on nosocomial infections in the cardiac care unit of a non-epidemic hospital in China.
Article in Frontiers in medicine, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Background: COVID-19 is generally believed to increase the risk of nosocomial infections, however, there is a gap in relevant researches on critically ill patients in cardiac care units (CCU). Method: This cross-sectional research was conducted in a tertiary-level non-epidemic hospital of Beijing, capital of China. The nosocomial infection rates of CCU were assessed prior to and during the of COVID-19 outbreak. Results: During the COVID-19 pandemic, the overall incidence of nosocomial infections decreased by 20.6-percent compared with the pre - pandemic period. Specifically, the total nosocomial infection rate during the COVID-19 pandemic ( Conclusion: During the COVID-19 pandemic, stricter implementation of infection control protocols appears to reduce nosocomial infections in CCU.
