1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Effective disinfection of noncritical hospital surfaces may be essential for limiting the transmission of antibiotic-resistant bacteria (ARB), which seem to persist despite clear disinfection guidelines and raise concern about the potency of real-world disinfectants and about the consistency of disinfection practices. This study compared the bactericidal efficacy of eight commercially available disinfectants - alcohols, hydrogen peroxide, quaternary ammonium compounds (QACs), and chlorhexidine (CHX) - against multidrug-resistant clinical isolates of
