Geographic mapping of Enterobacteriaceae with extended-spectrum β-lactamase (ESBL) phenotype in Pereira, Colombia.
Article in BMC infectious diseases, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 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
backgroundAntimicrobial resistance is an ecological and multicausal problem. Infections caused by extended-spectrum β-lactamase producing Enterobacteriaceae (ESBL-E) can be acquired and transmitted in the community. Data on community-associated ESBL-E infections/colonizations in Colombia are scarce. Georeferencing tools can be used to study the dynamics of antimicrobial resistance at the community level.
methodsWe conducted a study of geographic mapping using modern tools based on geographic information systems (GIS). Two study centers from the city of Pereira, Colombia were involved. The records of patients who had ESBL-producing Enterobacteriaceae were reviewed. Antimicrobial susceptibility testing and phenotypic detection of ESBL was done according to CLSI standards.
resultsA population of 415 patients with community-acquired infections/colonizations and 77 hospital discharges were obtained. Geographic distribution was established and heat maps were created. Several hotspots were evidenced in some geographical areas of the south-west and north-east of the city. Many of the affected areas were near tertiary hospitals, rivers, and poultry industry areas.
conclusionsThere are foci of antimicrobial resistance at the community level. This was demonstrated in the case of antimicrobial resistance caused by ESBL in a city in Colombia. Causality with tertiary hospitals in the city, some rivers and the poultry industry is proposed as an explanation of the evidenced phenomenon. Geographic mapping tools are useful for monitoring antimicrobial resistance in the community.
