Competencies influencing childcare providers' infectious-disease prevention in routine and outbreak contexts: a study in South Korea.

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
Introduction: Empirical evidence is limited regarding the competency domains that influence childcare providers' routine and outbreak-related infection-prevention behaviors in early-childhood settings. This study, therefore, aimed to identify the competencies that affect the infectious-disease prevention behaviors of childcare providers. Methods: A cross-sectional descriptive study was conducted with 239 childcare providers in an early-childhood education center. The variables were measured using self-administered questionnaires. Descriptive data for each factor were assessed, and Pearson's correlation analysis was used to analyze the correlations between infectious-disease prevention practices and the related factors. Stepwise multiple regression was used to identify the predictive factors for infectious-disease prevention practices. Data were collected between May 31, 2023, and June 12, 2023. Results: The factors influencing childcare providers' daily infectious-disease prevention practices were educational guidance (β = 0.19, Discussion: Enhancing childcare providers' infectious-disease prevention practices requires providing them with educational information, internal motivation, and support for effective strategies tailored according to children's ages. This study's findings can help community health managers and policymakers develop interventions and policies to support the prevention and management of infectious diseases in young children.
