Current Approaches on Nurse-Performed Interventions to Prevent Healthcare-Acquired Infections: An Umbrella Review.
Review in Microorganisms, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
To analyze nursing interventions for preventing healthcare-associated infections (HAIs), major complications in acute care impacting length of stay, costs, morbidity, and mortality, an umbrella review was conducted between 1 February and 26 February 2024, following the Joanna Briggs Institute methodology and PRISMA reporting guidelines, resulting in the inclusion of 22 articles. The 22 final articles obtained addressed the following Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) categories: surgical site infections (e.g., skin antisepsis, antibiotic prophylaxis), catheter-related bloodstream infections (e.g., taurolidine lock solutions), ventilator-associated pneumonia (e.g., oral hygiene, semi-recumbent positioning), and catheter-associated urinary tract infections (e.g., catheter duration management). Using Neuman's holistic framework, the review emphasized patient-environment interactions. Further primary research is needed to refine these interventions and enhance interprofessional care. The protocol was registered in PROSPERO (CRD42024506801).
