Standardized surveillance of blood culture contamination rates: moving toward a universal standard.
Article in Journal of clinical microbiology, 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
Blood culture contamination (BCC) is a major healthcare challenge with no standardized process to monitor and report rates by individual healthcare facilities in the United States. A new study by V. Fabre, Y.- J. Hsu, K. C. Caroll, A. M. Milstone, et al. (J Clin Microbiol 63:e0053025, 2025, https://doi.org/10.1128/jcm.00530-25) characterizes blood culture contamination rates, surveillance methods, reporting practices, and preventative strategies across 52 centers in the United States. The study highlights a need for standardized surveillance metrics and target thresholds within and across hospitals to help facilitate accurate benchmarking, provide feedback on existing processes, support antimicrobial and diagnostic stewardship efforts, and allocate resources to reduce BCC events.
