The relationship between catheter-related bloodstream infection and multi-drug resistant bacteria: a five-year retrospective study.
Article in BMC infectious diseases, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
backgroundCatheter-related bloodstream infection (CRBSI) is a severe hospital-acquired infection primarily associated with using central venous catheters (CVCs). With the rise of antibiotic resistance and the emergence of multidrug-resistant organisms (MDROs), there is a growing concern about the relationship between MDROs and CRBSI.
objectiveTo explore the association between MDROs and CRBSI.
methodsA retrospective study was conducted on hospitalized patients with implanted CVCs over 54 months (January 2019 to June 2023).
resultsWe included 50,718 patients with indwelling central venous catheters; 122 were diagnosed with central venous CRBSI) The incidence of CRBSI was 0.24% (122/50,718 patients). The rate of MDRO infections among non-CRBSI patients was only 3.86%, while the rate among CRBSI patients was 62.30% (χ² = 1065.80, p < 0.001). After excluding factors related to age, gender, medical history, environmental factors (ward of residence, length of hospitalization), catheter factors (catheter placement site, duration of catheterization, number of insertions), and other factors (duration of fever, abnormal white blood cell counts, frequency of mechanical ventilation) associated with CRBSI infection, the odds ratio for MDROs was 4.63 (95% CI: 2.86-7.50; P < 0.001; Fully adjusted model).
conclusionMDROs are independently associated with a higher incidence of CRBSI. These findings highlight the critical need for targeted infection control strategies against MDRO-associated CRBSI and formulate specific management strategies for these infections while promoting interdisciplinary collaboration to improve patient outcomes.
