Central sterile supply departament management on hospital-associated infections: a systematic review and meta-analysis.
Synthesis in Revista do Instituto de Medicina Tropical de Sao Paulo, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Hospital-associated infections (HAIs) pose significant risks in clinical settings, and sterile supply centers management plays a crucial role in infection control. This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to evaluate the impact of supply center management on the incidence of HAIs and adverse events. The systematic review encompassed studies that compared supply center management protocols with standard care. The PRISMA guidelines were followed to search seven databases for relevant studies. The meta-analysis calculated pooled odds ratios (OR) for HAIs and adverse events, and heterogeneity was assessed using Tau2, Chi-squared, and I2 statistics. Eight studies were included in the final analysis, each assessing intervention efficacy. The results revealed a significant reduction in HAIs (pooled OR=0.3; 95%CI [0.19; 0.49]). Adverse events were also significantly reduced (pooled OR=0.15; 95%CI [0.09; 0.25]). Heterogeneity was low for both HAIs (Tau2=0.00; I2=0%) and adverse events (Tau2=0.04; I2=19%), which indicated a consistent effect across the studies. Sterile supply center management significantly reduced the incidence of HAIs and adverse events. This suggests these interventions are effective in improving clinical outcomes and could be a vital component of infection control strategies in healthcare facilities.
