Healthcare-associated infection and unfavourable outcomes during a one-year follow-up after discharge: a single-center study.
Article in International journal of occupational medicine and environmental health, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
objectivesHealthcare-associated infections (HAIs) are persistent problem in contemporary in-hospital patients' treatment but they are recognized as potentially preventable. The influence of HAI on patients' outcomes after discharge is not fully acknowledged. The authors conducted the study to determine the associations between HAI and length of hospitalization, all-cause in-hospital death, need for treatment in the intensive care unit (ICU), and rehospitalization within 14 days, 30 days, and 365 days. MATERIAL AND
methodsOn the basis of inclusion criteria, 631 of 5322 (11.86%) inpatients were enrolled to the study, for whom the authors determined, among other factors, medical history, Activities of Daily Living (ADL) score and Nutritional Risk Screening 2002 (NRS-2002) score, nutritional status (using anthropometric characteristics and bioelectrical impedance analysis), and Charlson Comorbidity Index score.
resultsHealthcare-associated infections occurred in 17.9% of the inpatients enrolled to the study. Healthcare-associated infections were linked with greater length of in-hospital stay (LOS), risk of in-hospital death, transfer to the ICU, and hospital readmission within 14 days and 30 days. In multivariate analysis, HAI was the strongest risk factor for LOS prolongation, need for treatment in the ICU (OR = 15.26, 95% CI: 3.0-77.8, p < 0.01), and all-cause in-hospital death (OR = 10.73, 95% CI: 3.9-29.69, p < 0.001), alongside NRS-2002 and ADL scores. Healthcare-associated infections did not affect the risk of 14- and 30-day and 1-year readmissions in multivariate analysis, which were related to, among other factors, ADL score and mode of admission.
conclusionsHealthcare-associated infections statistically and significantly affected only outcomes related to the current hospitalization, across both univariate and multivariate analyses. Int J Occup Med Environ Health. 2025;38(2):179-89.
