Association between Clostridioides difficile infection and multidrug-resistant organism colonization or infection among hospitalized adults: A case-control study.
Article in American journal of infection control, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Using an ambidirectional case-control study, we found that the odds of Clostridioides difficile infection (CDI) were 3.38 (P = .01) times higher for patients with multidrug-resistant organism (MDRO) colonization compared to those without. MDRO colonization or infection 1-12 months before CDI testing significantly increased risk of positive CDI diagnosis (odds ratio 4.71, P = .02 and odds ratio = 5.03, P = .05, respectively) independent of antibiotic use, age, and comorbidity status. MDRO colonization and infection are associated with CDI, most significantly if they precede CDI.
