Practice of Catheter-Associated Urinary Tract Infection Prevention and Associated Factors Among Nurses in Ethiopia: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.

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: Among the most prevalent illnesses linked to healthcare, catheter-associated urinary tract infections (CAUTIs) dramatically raise hospital stays, morbidity, death, and medical expenses. Following evidence-based recommendations is essential for effective CAUTI prevention, and nurses are essential in putting preventive measures into action. Objective: This study aimed to assess the level of CAUTI prevention practices and associated factors among nurses in Ethiopia. Methods: A thorough search was carried out across multiple databases to identify important publications. A modified Newcastle-Ottawa scale (NOS) technique intended for cross-sectional research was used to evaluate the quality and efficacy of each original study. Included were observational studies looking at Ethiopian nurses' CAUTI preventive practices with a search period ending on February 9, 2025. A random-effects model was utilized for pooling estimates, and Stata software was utilized for analysis. The I Results: The pooled estimate of CAUTI prevention practice among nurses in Ethiopia was 51% (95% CI: 45.02, 56.97). A total of seven studies were included, with a combined sample size of 2,669 nurses. Work experience (AOR = 4.37, 95% CI: 3.05, 5.68), knowledge (AOR = 4.5, 95% CI: 2.04, 6.97), training (AOR = 2.05, 95% CI: 1.74, 2.36), positive attitude (AOR = 2.65, 95% CI: 1.89, 3.40), and availability of CAUTI prevention guidelines (AOR = 2.81, 95% CI: 1.88, 3.74) are all significantly associated with good CAUTI prevention practices. Conclusion: CAUTI prevention practice among nurses in Ethiopia remains suboptimal, with a pooled estimate of 51%. Targeted interventions such as continuous training, enhanced knowledge dissemination, and ensuring guideline availability are crucial to improving adherence to CAUTI prevention practice.
