The Causes and Control Measures of Extended Spectrum Beta-Lactamase Producing Enterobacteriaceae in Long-Term Care Facilities: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.
Review in Health services research and managerial epidemiology. 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
Background: Due to extended-spectrum beta-lactamase-producing Enterobacteriaceae (ESBL-PE), infections among residents are increasing in long-term care facilities (LTCFs), resulting in a high rate of morbidity and healthcare costs. A designated infection control team is unavailable to control the disease. Methods: A systematic review and meta-analysis were conducted to characterize the causes of ESBL-PE and evaluate the infection control strategies within LTCFs. Multiple regression analysis (MRA) was included as supplementary statistical analysis to identify relationships between LTCFs, geographical locations, infection control measures (ICMs), and ESBL-PE. A systematic search was conducted for studies from January 2008 to December 2018. Twenty-two of the 3106 studies met the inclusion criteria. Results: The pooled prevalence for ESBL-PE among LTCFs residents was a mean difference (MD) of 15.78 (95% CI: 0.04, 31.53). Risk factors included the influence of regional areas was a standardized mean difference (SMD) of 0.61(95% CI: 0.32, 0.91) in Europe, SMD was 14.92 (95% CI: 9.17, 20.68) in Asia, and SMD was 0.51(95% CI: 0.35, 0.67) in other regions (North America and Australia). Nine of 22 studies reported ICMs were MD of 13.59 (95% CI: 5.32, 21.86). Conclusions: Meta-analysis and MRA revealed a statistically significant association between LTCF and ESBL-PE among residents (
