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 remain a central hospital challenge, particularly in critical areas where invasive procedures and microbial contamination overlap. The hospital environment, including air and high-touch surfaces, acts as a persistent microorganism source that favors stability and spread. UV-C disinfection systems have become complementary tools to conventional cleaning. This study evaluated the disinfectant efficacy of a 254 nm multiemitter UV-C system under
