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

Background: Catheter-associated urinary tract infection (CAUTI) is a leading cause of hospital-acquired infections globally, with a high prevalence in China, especially in high-risk settings like intensive care and post-operative environments. These infections are influenced by factors such as patient volume, healthcare worker training, and adherence to infection control protocols. Shanghai, as a major healthcare hub, faces unique challenges in CAUTI prevention. Healthcare workers' knowledge, attitudes, and practices (KAP) play a crucial role in infection control, yet research on factors affecting KAP in obstetrics and gynecology remains limited. The unique patient population and specialized care protocols in these departments present specific challenges, emphasizing the need for deeper insights to enhance prevention strategies. Objective: The objective was to investigate the KAP scores of healthcare workers in an OB/GYN hospital regarding CAUTI prevention and to identify the factors influencing the scores. The ultimate aim is to provide evidence for improving targeted training programs and infection control measures. Methods and participants: A cross-sectional study was conducted in an OB/GYN hospital in Shanghai, China. A total of 327 healthcare workers from various departments completed a self-administered questionnaire assessing the KAP scores related to CAUTI prevention. The questionnaire also gathered data on demographic and professional characteristics, CAUTI training frequency, leadership emphasis on infection control, and other relevant factors. Data were analyzed using univariate and multivariate analyses to identify factors significantly influencing KAP scores. Results: Doctors scored higher than nurses in the knowledge dimension ( Conclusion: Healthcare workers' KAP scores toward CAUTI prevention are influenced by factors such as professional role, experience, clinical instruction, leadership emphasis, and training frequency. Tailored, role-specific training and active leadership involvement are essential to improving infection control and reducing CAUTI incidence.
