Timing and type of personal protective equipment adherence lapses in pediatric trauma resuscitation: A retrospective video study.
Article in American journal of infection control, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundAlthough personal protective equipment (PPE) reduces the transmission of infectious diseases, adherence among health care providers remains inconsistent. Developing strategies to improve PPE use requires understanding the factors associated with adherence lapses, defined as the partial undoing or removal of PPE, leading to nonadherence.
methodsWe performed a retrospective video review of 10 pediatric trauma resuscitations from March 2023 to July 2024. We recorded the number of lapses, the time from adherence to lapse (time-to-lapse), and the timing of lapses during resuscitation. We observed provider actions before and after a lapse to understand situational factors.
resultsWe observed 292 lapses among 120 providers. The median time-to-lapse was 7.7 minutes (interquartile range [IQR] 3.8-15.1) for gloves, 1.5 minutes (IQR 0.3-6.8) for masks, and 13.4 minutes (IQR 6.6-26.6) for gowns. Lapses in masks (estimate -0.4, 95% confidence interval -0.6 to -0.3, P < .001) occurred earlier in the resuscitations. Of 292 lapses, 105 (36.0%) were corrected. The most common provider action before a lapse included "observing" (n = 109/292, 37.3%).
conclusionsPPE lapses were frequent in the postpandemic setting. The time-to-lapse and lapse timing varied by PPE type. Aligning PPE monitoring with lapse patterns may optimize nonadherence detection and correction.
