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

Objective: To analyse the economic burden of ophthalmic surgery-related nosocomial infections under the diagnosis-related group (DRG) model payment mode and optimise prevention and control strategies. Methods: Retrospective analysis was used to analyse the hospitalisation days and expenses of patients with nosocomial infection after cataract surgery in our hospital in 2020 and 2021 and compared with patients without infection in the same group of DRGs in the same period. Results: In terms of hospitalisation days and expenses, the average hospitalisation time and average hospitalisation expenses of the infection group in 2020 were higher than those of the non-infection group. In 2021, the average hospitalisation time and the average hospitalisation expenses in the infected group were also higher than those in the non-infected group. The results of the root cause analysis showed that there were many issues in the infection-after-cataract-surgery group in the hospital related to hand hygiene and environmental cleaning and disinfection. Targeted improvement programmes were formulated accordingly, including attaching great importance to the prevention and control of infection after cataract surgery and implementing the full infection prevention and control training system. The adenosine triphosphate fluorescence detection and video surveillance methods were used to monitor the hand hygiene status of medical staff. Conclusion: Diagnosis-related grouping puts forward higher requirements for both hospital costs and quality management. Hospital infection after cataract surgery can significantly affect treatment quality, increase medical costs and increase the economic burden of patients.
