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: This study aimed to investigate the effects of drying, soaking, and two combined disinfection methods on the disinfection efficiency of ICU handwashing sinks. Methods: From January to June 2024, eight handwashing sinks in the ICU were randomly divided into control group ( Results: The study found that before disinfection, no significant differences in ATP levels were observed among the four groups ( Conclusion: Overall, all four methods in this study were found to be effective in disinfecting ICU handwashing sinks, but the combined method of soaking and drying was superior to the other three.
