Five-Year Survey of Asymptomatic Colonization with Multidrug-Resistant Organisms in a Romanian Tertiary Care Hospital.
Article in Infection and drug resistance, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 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
Purpose: To determine the rate of carriage of multidrug-resistant organisms (MDROs) between 2015 and 2019 among patients admitted to the National Institute of Infectious Diseases "Prof. Dr. Matei Balș," from Bucharest, Romania. Methods: Nasal, throat, and rectal/perirectal screening swabs were collected either immediately or during the first 24 hours of admission and sent to the microbiology laboratory where the following MDROs were identified: methicillin-resistant Results: A total of 5083 unique patients were screened for MRSA and 5008 for VRE, ESBL/CRE/CPE, MDR/XDR-AB, and MDR/XDR-PA. MRSA was detected in 8.24% of patients, VRE in 17.67%, ESBL Enterobacterales in 25.85%, and CPE in 6.13%. MDR/XDR-AB was found in 1.59% and MDR/XDR-PA in 1.91% of patients. The rates of carriage increased between 2015 and 2019 for MRSA (7.23-7.6%), VRE (9-16.68%), CPE (1.15-6.77%), MDR/XDR-PA (1.15-1.91%), and MDR/XDR-AB (1.15-2.04%). OXA-48-type carbapenemase was predominant in Conclusion: In this study, 37% of the unique patients screened over five years were found to be MDRO carriers. The proportion of VRE and CPE rectal carriers increased significantly between 2015 and 2019. The most frequently isolated carbapenemase was the OXA-48 type.
