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

Objective: To develop an electronic surveillance system that provides prompt in-depth situational infectious disease risk and linkage analysis for inpatients in a tertiary hospital. Patients and Methods: All patients admitted to Singapore General Hospital (SGH), a 1900-bedded tertiary care hospital, are included in routine surveillance. The 3-Dimensional Disease Outbreak Surveillance System (3D-DOSS) was developed to spatiotemporally represent inpatient surveillance data on a "digital twin" of SGH and evaluated for performance in surveillance, contact tracing, and outbreak investigations. This study was conducted over a 12 month period (October 1, 2020 to September 30, 2021). Results: The 3D-DOSS surveillance module identified an influenza cluster of 10 inpatients in November 2018, mapping retrospective data between September 2018 and December 2018. Seventy-six clusters of 2 or more linked patients with health care-associated Conclusion: The integration of health care data and representation on a virtual hospital digital twin is a useful tool in an outbreak alert and response framework. Infectious disease surveillance systems, which are syndrome-based, that can access real-time data, and can incorporate movement networks, can potentially enhance health care-associated infection prevention and preparedness for disease X.
