A comparative analysis of cluster based interventions on healthcare-associated infections in a tertiary care hospital in China.
Article in Frontiers in public health, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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: Healthcare-associated infections (HAIs) are a significant concern in infection prevention. This study analyzes the trend of incidence of HAIs in a tertiary care hospital in China and assesses the effectiveness of cluster based interventions. Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted on HAIs reports from 2015 to 2024, focusing on episodes involving the incidence rate of hospital infections, the catheter infection rate related to invasive procedures in the intensive care unit (ICU), healthcare workers' compliance with hand hygiene, needlestick and sharp injuries (NSIs) among healthcare workers, the prophylactic use rate of antimicrobial agents for Class I surgical incisions, and the antimicrobial usage density (AUD). In 2019, we implemented cluster-based interventions on the incidence of HAIs, strengthening hospital infection control. Results: The downward trend in HAIs is notable, with infection rates of 9.34 ± 0.25 and 7.29 ± 0.78 per 1,000 patient-days observed during the periods of 2015-2019 and 2020-2024, respectively ( Conclusion: Cluster-based interventions are effective in reducing healthcare-associated infections in a tertiary care hospital in China.
