Risk factors for infection with multidrug-resistant organisms in Haryana, India.
Article in American journal of infection control, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 13 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
backgroundThe objective of this study was to investigate risk factors for multidrug-resistant organism (MDRO) infection within patients from a tertiary care hospital in Northern India. This case-control study examined MDRO infection risk factors, including diet, health history, and medical device use. We administered a diet questionnaire to collect data on usual diet and collected data on other risk factors from chart review. All participants were inpatients identified through hospital microbiology reports. A total of 39 MDRO patient cases and 91 controls were included.
methodsDescriptive statistics, univariate analysis, and multivariate logistic regression were performed to evaluate the association between risk factors and MDRO infection.
resultsAll cases had gram-negative MDRO infections. Univariate analyses found length of hospital stay, connective tissue disease, hospitalization in the last 12 months, hospitalization of a family member, in-hospital antibiotic use, antibiotic use in the last 12 months, and feeding tube, central venous line, and urinary catheter use to be significantly different between cases and controls. Logistic regression showed a >3-fold increase in the odds of infection with antibiotic use in the last 12 months (odds ratio [OR], 3.30; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.22-8.91) and urinary catheter use (OR, 3.63; 95% CI, 1.14-11.58). Differences in dietary preferences and fruit, vegetable, and fiber consumption were not significantly associated with infection.
conclusionsAntibiotic use is a major driver of MDRO infections. Our findings suggest that interventions optimizing antibiotic stewardship and reducing device use should be a priority to prevent MDRO infections.
