Assessing Global Nursing Interventions in Reducing Hospital-Acquired Infections: A Meta-Analysis.
Review in Iranian journal of 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: Hospital-acquired infections (HAIs) raise worldwide morbidity, death, and healthcare expenditures. Preventing and managing HAIs requires nursing interventions such hand hygiene, personal protective equipment (PPE) usage, environmental cleaning, and antimicrobial stewardship. This meta-analysis examined how nursing interventions reduced HAIs in different hospital settings. Methods: A complete PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science search was undertaken for January 2000-December 2023 research. Studies on HAI-reducing nursing interventions were included. Study quality was evaluated using the Cochrane Risk of Bias Tool and Newcastle-Ottawa Scale. The random-effects model was used to construct pooled risk ratios (RRs) with 95% CIs in meta-analysis. We also performed subgroup, sensitivity, and publication bias analyses. Results: Fourteen trials with 2540 individuals were included. In the pooled study, nursing interventions significantly reduced HAI incidence (RR = 0.42, 95% CI: 0.35-0.50, Conclusion: Nursing interventions significantly reduce HAIs. Hand hygiene, PPE, environmental cleaning, and antimicrobial stewardship are essential to infection control. Healthcare institutions should prioritise these actions and resolve compliance hurdles to enhance patient outcomes and minimise HAIs. Research is needed to explore innovative approaches and identify factors influencing compliance.
