Assessing the Practice of Infection Control Among Dialysis Staff in Dialysis Centers in Northeast India.
Article in Indian journal of nephrology. 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
Background: Chronic kidney disease patients on maintenance hemodialysis have multiple co-morbidities and high risk of infections. This study was conducted to assess the idea and practice of infection control measures in dialysis units in northeast India. Materials and Methods: This observational descriptive study was conducted among the participants of the 5 Results: A total of 200 dialysis staff working in different dialysis units of northeast India participated in the study. Among infection control practices, 38% of participants said that their centers had no dedicated area for parenteral medication preparation. Twenty two percent did not clean the dialysis machine after each session. Thirty percent of participants responded that they had no regular training for infection control practices. Sixteen percent reported inadequate hand hygiene facilities near waiting areas. Conclusion: Dialysis staff has a crucial role in providing good standard dialysis care in ESRD patients. Dialysis facilities should have written policies on infection prevention and control and provide regular training to dialysis staff.
