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

Location and interaction data for workers in a hospital unit are useful for epidemiological research. This article describes a one-week study measuring contacts between healthcare professionals in a medical intensive care unit. Measurements capture the duration of contact, defined as being within six feet (1.8 ± 0.1 meters) distance between instrumented persons or between persons and selected locations throughout the unit. Within each patient room, measurements distinguish between three places: the sink, the computer, and the vitals monitor. Data from the study, approximately 15 million records, are processed into different formats that facilitate analysis.
