A systematic review and meta-analysis on the prevalence of Escherichia coli and extended-spectrum β-lactamase-producing Escherichia coli in pregnant women.
Synthesis in Archives of gynecology and obstetrics, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 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
proposeThe aim of the present study was to determine the prevalence of E. coli and extended-spectrum β-lactamase-producing (ESBL) E. coli in pregnant women in a systematic review and meta-analysis study.
methodsWe searched important databases, including Medline (PubMed), Embase, Scopus, Web of sciences, Cochrane library, Ovid, and CINHAL to retrieve all articles reporting the prevalence of ESBL E. coli in pregnant women that published from January 1990 to June 2020.
resultsThe pooled prevalence of E. coli in pregnant women with and without symptoms of UTI after combining 82 studies with a sample size of 33,118 was 29% (29%; %95 CI 23, 36%). The prevalence based on urine, Feacal, and vagina samples was 26% (% 95 CI 19-34%), 77% (% 95 CI 22-98%), and 32% (% 95 CI 17-48%), respectively. Also, 19 studies with a sample size of 9,200 reported ESBL E. coli prevalence in pregnant women. After combining the results of these studies, the pooled prevalence of ESBL E. coli in pregnant women was 34% (34%; %95 CI 24, 43%). The pooled prevalence of E. coli in pregnant women with HIV was 9%(9%; %95 CI 7, 11%).
conclusionAccording to the results of this study, the prevalence of E. coli and ESBL E. coli is high in pregnant women. Also, the overuse of antibiotics was higher in European and Asian pregnant women than other continents.
