Global landscape and professionalization of infection preventionist education: comparative insights and future directions.
Review in Frontiers in public 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
Healthcare-associated infections (HAIs) continue to pose a significant threat to global public health, underscoring the critical role of infection preventionists (IPs). However, considerable heterogeneity exists in IP training and credentialing worldwide. This mini-review synthesizes existing models from diverse healthcare systems into a unified "IP Education Maturity Spectrum." This conceptual framework categorizes global training systems into Nascent, Developing, and Established stages, defined by their maturity across three dimensions: Institutional Integration, Competency Orientation, and Career Sustainability. Furthermore, we address the "Professional Identity Paradox"-the structural tension between the field's multidisciplinary roots and the need for a specialized professional identity. Finally, we position academic integration, digital education, and global harmonization not merely as future trends, but as strategic interventions designed to propel systems up the maturity spectrum toward full professionalization.
