Molecular mechanisms of colistin resistance in Africa: A systematic review of literature.
Review in Germs, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 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
introductionUpdated and comprehensive data on the mechanism underlying colistin resistance is lacking in Africa. LITERATURE SEARCH: Herein, we aimed to review available literature on the molecular mechanisms of colistin resistance in Africa. PubMed, Google Scholar, and African Journal online databases were searched on the 15th of January 2020 for original research articles that reported mechanisms of colistin resistance in any of the 54 African countries. REVIEW: Of the 1473 studies identified through initial database search, 36 met the inclusion criteria. Colistin resistance was mostly observed in
conclusionsTransferable plasmid mediated colistin resistance is rapidly emerging in Africa with
