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
Background: A well-trained Infection Control Nurse (ICN) plays a crucial role in the management of Hospital Acquired Infections (HAIs). The primary responsibilities of an ICN include identifying, developing, and implementing best practices related to the sanitation, infection prevention, and control strategies within healthcare settings. This study aimed to evaluate the impact of an ICN on supervised patient care, proper sampling techniques, and infection control in an Intensive Care Unit (ICU) setting. Materials and Methods: A prospective, non-randomized controlled study was conducted involving 406 ICU-admitted patients over 6 months (October 2022 to March 2023) at a tertiary care ICU in KGMU, Lucknow, India. During the first 3 months (October 1 Results: The presence of an ICN significantly improved sampling techniques, leading to the notable reduction in sample contamination. Moreover, supervised patient care under ICN guidance yielded better clinical outcomes. Conclusions: Supervision by an Infection Control Nurse is vital in ICU settings for effective infection prevention, accurate sampling, and timely management, ultimately enhancing patient outcomes and reducing hospital-acquired infections or Nosocomial Infection.
