Prevalence of nosocomial infections in intensive care units and the role of the infection prevention and control team in implementing protective measures - a case study of a university hospital in Morocco.

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: Despite their small number of beds, intensive care units are major reservoirs of multidrug-resistant bacteria (MDRO) and experience a high frequency of nosocomial infections. This study aims to estimate their prevalence, identify risk factors, determine the microorganisms responsible, and highlight the preventive measures taken to control these risks. Methods: A cross-sectional questionnaire-based survey of the prevalence of nosocomial infections in all intensive care units in three university hospital centers, including all patients hospitalized for at least 24 hours. Results: Among the 50 patients included, 30% had a nosocomial infection, the most common of which was pneumonia. Of the 18 bacteria species isolated in 15 patients, 66.7% were MDRO. The most frequently isolated species was Conclusion: The survey identified the frequency, risk factors and microorganisms responsible for nosocomial infections. This approach helped to guide preventive measures and prioritize efforts, making it a pragmatic and appropriate solution for enhancing the efforts against these infections in contexts where resources are limited.
