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

The emergence of multidrug-resistant organisms (MDROs) represents a significant challenge for global healthcare systems. The Netherlands maintains one of the lowest antimicrobial resistance rates in the world, attributed to prudent antibiotic use and effective infection prevention and control policies in healthcare settings. This report presents an updated national guideline for the infection prevention and control of MDROs in hospitals, developed by the Dutch Collaborative Partnership for Infection Prevention Guidelines (SRI). Using a multidisciplinary approach and evidence-based frameworks such as AGREE-II and GRADE, the guideline addresses the definition of MDRO, risk assessment and recommendations for MDRO screening, isolation and infection prevention measures, source and contact tracing, discontinuation of isolation measures, and organization of care. It incorporates new evidence, and other aspects such as patient perspectives, sustainability, costs, and organizational factors, providing practical recommendations to mitigate MDRO transmission. This update aims to strengthen national infection control practices and sustain the Dutch low antimicrobial resistance levels.
