1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

backgroundGastric acid-suppressive therapy has been suggested to increase the risk for intestinal carriage of MDR Enterobacterales, but there is scarce community-based evidence substantiating this risk.

objectivesTo investigate if acid-suppressant use is associated with a risk of intestinal carriage of ESBL and carbapenemase-producing Enterobacterales (ESBL-E) in the open population, and to assess possible modifying factors.

methodsWithin the framework of a nationwide seroprevalence study, we identified a population-based cross-sectional cohort comprising 2746 adults (≥18 years), who provided stool specimens between February 2016 and June 2017. Specimens were tested by phenotypic assays and confirmatory genotype analysis to detect carriage of ESBL-E. Covariate data were extracted from self-administered questionnaires. ORs and 95% CIs were estimated using multivariable multilevel logistic regression, controlling for confounders informed by directed acyclic graphs.

resultsAmong 2746 participants, 316 (11.5%) used acid suppressants; the prevalence of ESBL-E carriage was 7.4% (95% CI, 6.1%-8.6%). Current use of acid suppressants was not associated with ESBL-E carriage (adjusted OR [aOR], 1.05; 95% CI, 0.64-1.74); lifestyle and comorbidity did not modify this association. A higher BMI (≥25 kg/m2) (aOR, 1.42 [95% CI, 1.02-1.98]), non-Western ethnic origin (aOR, 1.96 [95% CI, 1.34-2.87]), travel to Eastern-Mediterranean, Western-Pacific or South-East Asia regions (aOR, 3.16 [95% CI, 1.71-5.83]) were associated with ESBL-E carriage. Sensitivity analyses confirmed these results; spline analysis supported a BMI-associated risk.

conclusionsIn this open population study, current use of acid suppressants was not associated with ESBL-E carriage. Travel to high-endemic regions and non-Western ethnicity were confirmed as risk factors, while a higher BMI emerged as a potential new risk for ESBL-E carriage.
