Risk factors for carriage of antimicrobial-resistant bacteria in community dwelling-children in the Asia-Pacific region: a systematic review and meta-analysis.
Review in JAC-antimicrobial resistance, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 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
Background: Antimicrobial resistance is an increasingly important issue in public health as antibiotics are overused. Resistance to antimicrobial agents can pose significant challenges to infection treatment. Objectives: To evaluate risk factors associated with carriage of antimicrobial-resistant (AMR) bacteria in children in the Asia-Pacific region to consolidate evidence for future implementation of antibiotic prescribing practice. Methods: Three electronic databases-PubMed, EMBASE and Cochrane Library-were searched. Observational studies that investigated the risk factors for carriage of MRSA, penicillin-resistant Results: From the 4145 search results, 25 papers were included in this review. Sixteen papers were included in the meta-analysis based on reported risk factors. Young age of 2-6 months compared with children aged 7-60 months (OR 2.74, 95% CI: 1.75-4.29), antibiotic use within the past 3 months (OR 2.65, 95% CI: 1.70-4.12), daycare attendance (OR 1.49, 95% CI: 1.17-1.91) and hospital admission within the past 3 months (OR 3.43, 95% CI: 2.13-5.51) were found to be significant risk factors for AMR bacterial carriage, whilst breastfeeding (OR 0.69, 95% CI: 0.60-0.81) and concurrent colonization of Conclusions: The findings support that there are a number of significant risk factors associated with carriage of AMR bacteria in the Asia-Pacific paediatric population. To combat antimicrobial resistance in the future, these risk factors should be considered, and measures taken to mitigate associated carriage.
