Relationship Between Multidrug-Resistant Enterobacterales and Obesity in Older Adults.
Article in Infection and drug resistance, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
purposeThe objective of our study was to determine if obesity is associated with the presence of multidrug-resistant (MDR) bacteria among Enterobacterales. PATIENTS AND
methodsThis two-center cohort study included adult hospitalized patients with at least one specimen sampled from any site for bacterial culture yielding an Enterobacterales bacterial species from November 2016 to May 2017. Study groups were stratified by obesity status based on body mass index <30 kg/m
resultsA total of 366 patients, 238 non-obese and 128 obese, were included. The most common gram-negative bacterial species identified was Escherichia coli (64.2%). There was a higher proportion of gram-negative MDR bacteria in obese versus non-obese patients (18.8 versus 11.3%,
conclusionAmong older adult hospitalized patients, obesity was independently associated with the presence of a gram-negative MDR bacteria (presumptive ESBL or CRE) in a culture.
