Digitalised measures for the prevention of central line-associated bloodstream infections: a scoping review.

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
backgroundCentral line-associated bloodstream infections (CLABSI) increase morbidity, mortality, and healthcare costs of hospitalised patients, despite being largely preventable. While evidence-based guidelines for preventing CLABSI are well-established, the implementation of these measures remain suboptimal. Digitalization presents a promising approach to improve guideline adherence, streamline implementation processes, and ultimately reduce CLABSI rates.
methodsThis scoping review aims to synthesize the available evidence on digitalised interventions for the prevention of CLABSI. A systematic search was conducted using Medline to identify studies published between January 1, 2014, and March 20, 2024, that reported on the implementation of digitalised preventive measures for CLABSI and evaluated their impact on CLABSI rates. Data extraction included study characteristics, features of the digitalised preventive measures, effectiveness in reducing CLABSI rates, and relevant process outcomes.
resultsA systematic search yielded 263 articles, of which six studies were included. Digitalised interventions were predominantly designed for use by nurses in tertiary-level hospitals (n = 6), primarily in intensive care units (n = 5) and targeted pediatric patient populations (n = 5). These measures were often implemented as part of multimodal strategies. The digital interventions included hospital dashboards (n = 2), mobile applications (n = 2), automatic notifications of catheter days (n = 1), and e-learning modules with electronic reminders (n = 1). The most common study design was quasi-experimental without an external control group. All included studies reported a reduction in CLABSI rates, ranging from 21 to 73%. Healthcare workers generally perceived these digital interventions positively. DISCUSSION: Digitalised interventions for CLABSI prevention seem to be effective in reducing infection rates, likely because of increasing compliance to established guidelines for CLABSI prevention.
