Molecular Characterization and Antibiotic Susceptibility Profile of Acinetobacter baumannii Recovered from Hospital Wastewater Effluents.
Article in Current microbiology, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Acinetobacter baumannii (A. baumannii) plays a significant part in nosocomial infections world over and is re-emerging as a formidable pathogen due to the wide range of antibiotic resistance factors it acquires and environmental resilience. The high attendance of patients (outpatients and inpatients) into the health care facilities formed the basis for the selection of the hospitals. Consequently, this study profiled the antibiogram and antibiotic resistance genes of A. baumannii isolated from selected hospital wastewater effluents. A total of twenty-four (24) wastewater samples from three selected hospital drainages were collected and analysed presumptively by culture-dependent methods for A. baumannii. The identity confirmation of A. baumannii was done by the amplification of recA and blaoxa-51 genes. Virulence and antibiotic resistance markers were assessed using polymerase chain reaction. A total of 53 A. baumannii isolates were confirmed and the highest antibiotic resistance profile was 93% (piperacillin). Multiple antibiotic resistance index (MARI) showed a range of 0.23 and 0.46. FimH virulence gene was detected in 29 (55%) of the isolates. Tetracycline and beta-lactam resistance markers were found; 70% and 92% of the isolates possessed tetA and ampC genes. The isolates showed high level of resistance to antibiotics. The multiple antibiotic resistance index (MARI) of ≥ 0.2 indicates that some of the isolates harbour virulence and resistance traits emerging from high-risk source thereby projecting a threat to public health.
