Duodenoscope-associated infections: a review.
Review in European journal of clinical microbiology & infectious diseases : official publication of the European Society of Clinical Microbiology, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 22 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
Flexible digestive endoscopes are used for the management of various conditions with hundreds of thousands of therapeutic procedures performed worldwide each year. Duodenoscopes are indispensable tools for the delivery of minimally invasive vital care of numerous pancreaticobiliary disorders. Despite the fact that nosocomial infections after endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) have always been among the most frequently cited postprocedural complications, recent emergence of duodenoscope-transmitted multiple drug-resistant bacterial infections has led to intense research and debate yet with no clearly delineated solution. Duodenoscope-transmitted nosocomial infections have become one of the most visible topics in the recent literature. Hundreds of high-impact articles have therefore been published in the last decade. This review article discusses how such infections were seen in the past and what is the current situation in both research and practice and thus tries to solve some of the unanswered questions for the future. With the persistence of nosocomial infections despite strict adherence to both manufacturer-issued reprocessing protocols and international guidelines and regulations, an urgent and proper microbiologically driven common action is needed for controlling such nosocomial worldwide threat.
