Is there a role of faecal microbiota transplantation in reducing antibiotic resistance burden in gut? A systematic review and Meta-analysis.
Synthesis in Annals of medicine, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 15 papers, 2 of them syntheses 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
objectivesThe aim of current systematic review and meta-analysis is to provide insight into the therapeutic efficacy of fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) for the decolonization of antimicrobial-resistant (AMR) bacteria from the gut.
methodsThe protocol for this Systematic Review was prospectively registered with PROSPERO (CRD42020203634). Four databases (EMBASE, MEDLINE, SCOPUS, and WEB of SCIENCE) were consulted up until September 2020. A total of fourteen studies [
resultsOverall, seven non-duplicate case reports (
conclusionMore rigorous RCTs with larger sample size and standardized protocols on FMTs for gut decolonization of AMR organisms are warranted.KEY MESSAGEExisting studies in this subject are limited and of low quality with moderate heterogeneity, and do not allow definitive conclusions to be drawn.More rigorous RCTs with larger sample size and standardized protocols on FMTs for gut decolonization of AMR organisms are warranted.
