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

Background: Surgical site infections (SSIs) are the most frequent type of healthcare-associated infections (HAIs) in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). Effective surgical hand antisepsis is a critical step in the prevention of SSIs. Limited research on clinician interventions regarding accuracy in waterless surgical hand antisepsis (WSHA) is available. This study evaluated the effect of a tailored, multifaceted improvement strategy on WSHA in a tertiary hospital in East China. We also performed a process evaluation to explore the mechanisms through which our strategy brought about change. Methods: A prospective, pre-post intervention study was performed from January 2024 through December in 28 departments. Data from the pre-post intervention studies were collected using a specially designed score checklist and video surveillance (≥4 per department). In addition to the score collection, the mid-term assessment also used a questionnaire that included demographic characteristics and cultural climate surveys. A number of customized interventions were conducted before and after the mid-term assessment. Results: The scores of pre-intervention, mid-term assessment, and post-intervention were 71.4 ± 16.8, 92.7 ± 9.2, and 78.7 ± 19.4, respectively. There were statistical differences between the scores of pre-intervention and mid-term assessment ( Conclusion: Our interventions have been successful in improving WSHA accuracy. In the future, it will be necessary to closely monitor and supervise WSHA practices to determine the long-term effectiveness of current intervention strategies.
