Intravenous medication administration by nursing staff: adherence to aseptic measures and touching environmental surfaces.
Article in Revista brasileira de enfermagem, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
objectivesto analyze adherence to aseptic measures and contact with environmental surfaces by nursing professionals during intravenous medication administration.
methodsa cross-sectional study conducted in an adult Intensive Care Unit of a university hospital between February and March 2023. Twenty-seven nursing professionals were observed in a real-world care setting, and the magnitude of the associations was analyzed using the Prevalence Ratio, with a 95% Confidence Interval.
results135 medication administration procedures were observed, and 1,083 touches on surfaces were detected (mean of eight touches per procedure). The most frequently touched surfaces were infusion pumps (29.1%), infusion sets (28.1%), and clothing (9.7%). Of the 11 indicators of compliance with aseptic measures, six were classified as non-compliant.
conclusionslow adherence to aseptic measures and a significant frequency of touching clinical surfaces before administering medications were observed, which may represent a risk to patient safety.
