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

Healthcare-associated infections are linked with the contamination of inanimate surfaces and the air in occupied hospital areas by recognized pathogens. However, there is limited information about the presence of these microorganisms or other potential pathogens in critical areas prior to their clinical operation. Here, we determined the microbial community in critical areas prior to their validation for hospital care and reviewed the background for the potential pathogenic role of this microbiota for populations susceptible to opportunistic infections. We evaluated environmental samples from operating theatres (OTs) and bone marrow transplant rooms (BMTRs) at the Peruvian National Cancer Center. A total of 164 samples (58 air samples and 106 surface samples) were collected for bacterial and fungal culture. In the OTs, the air conditioning sample yielded the highest microbial isolation from air, with a predominance of the genera
