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: Infection prevention and control (IPC) is a major component of health systems and affects both the health and safety of people who use health services and those who provide them. The Infection Prevention and Control Assessment Framework (IPCAF) is a tool for the assessment of IPC in healthcare centers. Methods: In the present study, we examined the hospitals of Tehran from this point of view. Results: Thirty-one hospitals were examined through IPCAF form. All the data were analyzed in SPSS version 25. Twenty-three centers (74.1%) were at the advanced level; 7 centers (22.5%) were at the intermediate level and only one center (3.2%) was at the minimum level. The lowest score was related to the field of education. There was no significant difference between private and public hospitals in terms of IPC score ( Conclusions: Hospitals of Tehran are at advanced level in terms of IPC, and the lowest score is related to the field of education, which needs more investigation and effort to improve it.
