Device-Specific Factors Associated With Device-Related Infection Prevention and Control Practices in Long-Term Care Hospitals: A Multicenter Multilevel Study.

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
aimTo examine multilevel factors associated with Foley catheter- and central venous catheter (CVC)-related infection prevention and control (IPC) practices among nursing staff in long-term care hospitals (LTCHs) and to test whether resource support mediates the relationship between organizational culture and IPC practices.
backgroundLTCHs are vulnerable to device-related healthcare-associated infections, yet evidence on how individual- and organizational-level factors shape IPC practices across device types in these settings remains limited.
methodsIn this multicenter cross-sectional study, we surveyed 197 nursing staff with at least 6 months of clinical experience from 11 LTCHs with 150 or more beds in South Korea. Foley catheter and CVC IPC practice scores were the primary outcomes. Potential associated factors included IPC knowledge, job stress, organizational culture, and resource support. Linear mixed models with hospitals as a random effect were used to identify associated factors, and bootstrap mediation analysis (2000 replications) was used to test the indirect pathway from organizational culture through resource support to IPC practice.
resultsResource support was most strongly associated with both Foley (β = 0.334, p < 0.001) and CVC (β = 0.379, p < 0.001) practice scores. Organizational culture was significantly associated with Foley catheter IPC practice (β = 0.233, p = 0.007) but not CVC IPC practice (p = 0.292). Mediation analysis with resource support as the mediator revealed partial mediation for Foley catheter IPC practice (mediation ratio = 48.8%) and near-complete mediation for CVC IPC practice (mediation ratio = 75.3%). IPC knowledge was significant only for CVC IPC practice (β = 0.198, p = 0.004), whereas job stress showed a suppressive effect, becoming significant in the multivariate model for both devices.
conclusionThe same mediation model operated through qualitatively different pathways depending on the device type. These findings suggest that a one-size-fits-all approach may be insufficient to improve device-related IPC practices in LTCHs. IMPLICATIONS FOR NURSING MANAGEMENT: Nurse managers in LTCHs should target different levers by device-securing structural and training readiness for CVC care, while reinforcing accountability norms and peer monitoring for Foley catheter care.
