Prevalence of Multidrug-Resistant Organisms and Risk Factors for Carriage among Patients Transferred from Long-Term Care Facilities.
Article in Infection & chemotherapy, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 13 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
backgroundPatient transport between acute care hospitals and long-term care facilities (LTCFs) plays a significant role in microbial migration. The study aimed to estimate the prevalence and risk factors associated with the colonization of multidrug-resistant organisms (MDROs) among patients transferred from LTCFs. MATERIALS AND
methodsWe retrospectively reviewed medical records to examine the colonization of MDROs. All patients who were transferred from LTCFs and admitted to an acute care hospital with 800 beds in Daejeon between March 2018 and February 2019 were included in the study. We surveyed rectal cultures and nasal swabs obtained for screening vancomycin-resistant
resultsFour hundred and fifteen patients from 86 LTCFs were enrolled. A total of 31.1% (130/415) of participants carried MDROs; VRE colonization was detected in 17.1% (71/415) of participants, and MRSA colonization was shown in 19.5% (81/415) of participants. No CRE was isolated. Previous use of antibiotics within three months [odds ratio (OR) 2.28; (95% confidence interval (CI) 1.30 - 4.00),
conclusionOur study showed that a third of patients transferred from LTCFs carried VRE or MRSA, and prior antibiotic therapy was highly associated with the carriage of MDROs, which suggested more efficient management approaches for high-risk patients.
