The epidemiology of Clostridium difficile infection inside and outside health care institutions.
Review in Infectious disease clinics of North America, 2015. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 39 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
This article describes the global changes in Clostridium difficile epidemiology since the late twentieth century and into the twenty-first century when the new epidemic strain BI/NAP1/027 emerged. The article provides an overview of how understanding of C difficile epidemiology has rapidly evolved since its initial association with colitis in 1974. It also discusses how C difficile has spread across the globe, the role of asymptomatic carriers in disease transmission, the increased recognition of C difficile outside health care settings, the changes in epidemiology of C difficile infection in children, and the risk factors for disease.
