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

Inpatient infection prevention practices vary widely between health care institutions, on a national and international scale. Transmissible infectious diseases pose a risk to vulnerable inpatient populations as well as hospital staff and visitors. Maintaining a high index of suspicion, along with early identification and prompt isolation procedures of patients with these conditions can greatly reduce the likelihood of transmission. We review the presenting features and recommended infection prevention practices for six transmissible infectious diseases known to pose risks to patients, staff and visitors: scabies, tuberculosis, respiratory viruses, varicella zoster virus,
