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
Background: Although guidelines on neonatal care and infection prevention exist, it is unclear what factors influence nurses' adherence to infection prevention and control (IPC) in neonatal care. This study aimed to assess the determinants of nurses' adherence to IPC in neonatal sepsis prevention in the Pwani Region, Tanzania. Methods: A cross-sectional study with 282 nurses was conducted. Assessing the how Socio demographic characteristics, Health facility factors, attitude of the nurses affect the Nurse's practices on adherence to IPC for prevention of neonatal sepsis. Data collection methods included a questionnaire and an observation checklist. Bivariate and multivariate logistic regression were employed to determine the factors influencing nurses' adherence to IPC. Nurse's adherence to IPC was measured using the mean score whereby those who score above the mean were regarded as adequate adherence. A Probability value of .05 and a 95% confidence interval was regarded as statistically significant. Results: The present study found that only one-third (37.0%) of the nurses had adequately adhered to IPC. Significant associations were observed between nurse's adherence to IPC in the prevention of neonatal sepsis and; working experience of 13 to 24, 7 to 12, and 6 months [AOR =5.30, Conclusion: The study results indicated Nurse's adherence to IPC in the prevention of neonatal sepsis is associated with working experience, staffing, healthcare level, on-job training, isolation room availability, current SOPs and IPC guidelines, access to medical equipment/supply, and positive attitude. Strategies should be employed to strengthen the adherence of nurses to IPC guidelines to minimize the morbidity and mortality resulting from neonatal sepsis. Interventional studies from each factor for nurse's adherence to IPC in the prevention of neonatal sepsis should be of priority.
