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

objectivesto correlate surface cleaning and disinfection monitoring methods in two neonatal intensive care units and compare threshold values for adenosine triphosphate.

methodsa correlational study with 864 assessments was conducted using adenosine triphosphate quantification, visual inspection, aerobic colony count, Staphylococcus aureus detection, and resistance testing before and after hygiene procedures.

resultsin Unit A, correlations were found between colony count and Staphylococcus aureus on the counter (phase I; P=0.031) and between adenosine triphosphate and colony count in the incubator (phase II; P=0.001). In Unit B, a correlation was observed between adenosine triphosphate and colony count on the infusion pump (phase I; P=0.045). Threshold values for adenosine triphosphate were lower than 28 relative light units in Unit A and equal to or lower than 38 in Unit B.

conclusionsvariations were observed in the correlations and threshold values for adenosine triphosphate between the analyzed units.
