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

Background: This study was conducted to systematically evaluate the knowledge, attitudes, and practices (KAP) of pediatric healthcare workers (HCWs) concerning risk assessment in basic nosocomial infection control, with a specific focus on identifying key demographic and professional variables that may influence these outcomes. Methods: A cross-sectional survey was conducted among 126 pediatric HCWs in Nanjing, China. A structured questionnaire on nosocomial infection control was developed using the Delphi method. Expert consensus was assessed using content validity indices (CVI) and Kendall's W. One-way ANOVA identified significant differences in responses to sub-questions. Factor analysis was based on severity and importance ratings. Linear regression examined associations between demographic variables and risk assessment performance. Statistical significance was defined as Results: One-way ANOVA demonstrated statistically significant variations in responses to 17 sub-questions ( Conclusion: These findings provide key insights into current knowledge, attitudes, and practices regarding nosocomial infection control among pediatric HCWs in Nanjing, China. The observed differences between departments highlight the need for tailored interventions. Future research should focus on developing and evaluating such targeted strategies to improve infection control, patient safety, and care quality.
