Distribution and antimicrobial resistance profile of bacteria recovered from sewage system of health institutions found in Hawassa, Sidama Regional State, Ethiopia: A descriptive study.
Article in SAGE open medicine, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
objectivesThe aim of the study was to determine the distribution and antimicrobial susceptibility profile of bacteria recovered from the sewage systems of health institutions found in Hawassa, Sidama Regional State, Ethiopia.
methodsA cross-sectional study was conducted from 20 October 2020 to 1 December 2020. A total of 27 sewage samples were collected at two points, namely, before entering the septic tank and from the septic tank of seven health institutions. Samples were inoculated onto Mannitol salt agar, Blood agar, and MacConkey agar, and incubated for 24 h at 37°C. Bacteria were identified using colony morphology, Gram staining, and biochemical tests. An antimicrobial susceptibility test was performed using the Kirby-Bauer disk diffusion method. Data were analyzed by SPSS, version 25, and results were presented in text and tables.
resultsAll sewage samples (
conclusionAll sewage systems of health institutions included in the current study contained different types of pathogenic bacteria, which are resistant to commonly prescribed antibiotics.
