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

methodsRetrospective statistical analyses were conducted on all 145 cases coded as SAB at this hospital during the "pre-pandemic" period (2017 to 2019, 75 cases) and the pandemic period (2020 to 2022, 70 cases). Population parameters and quality management parameters were extracted from the clinical patient documentation. In a first analysis, the SARS-CoV-2 status served as a discriminatory parameter to determine its influence on the quality of care within the "pandemic period". In a second analysis, the period served as a discriminatory parameter to determine its influence on the quality of care. In a third analysis, the use of AMS team consultation served as a discriminatory parameter to determine its influence on the quality of care in a subgroup of 42 cases from June 2021 to 2022.

resultsThe SARS-CoV-2 status had no influence on the population parameters or the quality management parameters. Between both analyzed periods, there was an improvement in the quality management parameters, with statistically significant higher rates of follow-up blood cultures, transthoracic echocardiography and adequate antibiotic therapy. AMS team consultation led to a relevant, but not statistically significant improvement in the quality management indicators.

conclusionsAn SOP for SABQM leads to an improvement in the quality of care, even under the possible negative influences of a pandemic. AMS team consultations further strengthen this positive influence, even if this is not statistically significant due to the small number of cases in the subgroup analyzed.
