Hospital-onset bacteraemia and fungaemia as a novel automated surveillance indicator: results from four European university hospitals, 2018 to 2022.

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
BACKGROUNDConventional manual surveillance of healthcare-associated infections is labour-intensive and therefore often restricted to areas with high-risk patients. Fully automated surveillance of hospital-onset bacteraemia and fungaemia (HOB) may facilitate hospital-wide surveillance.AIMTo develop an algorithm and minimal dataset (MDS) required for automated surveillance of HOB and apply it to real-life routine data in four European hospitalsMETHODSThrough consensus discussion, a HOB definition with MDS suitable for automated surveillance was developed and applied in a retrospective multicentre observational study including all adult patients admitted to hospitals in the Netherlands, Germany, Sweden and Switzerland (2018-22). Annual HOB rates were calculated per 1,000 patient days for hospital, intensive care unit (ICU) and non-ICU settings.RESULTSHOB was defined as a positive blood culture with a recognised pathogen 2 or more days after hospital admission. For common commensals, two blood cultures with the same commensal within 2 days were required. HOB rates were comparable between the four hospitals (1.0-2.2/1,000 patient days). HOB rates were substantially higher in ICU than non-ICU settings, and HOB with common commensals accounted for 14.8-28.2% of all HOB. HOB rates per 1,000 patient days were consistent over time, but higher in 2020-21. HOB caused by
