Risk-factor analysis for extended-spectrum beta-lactamase-producing Enterobacterales colonization or infection: Evaluation of a novel approach to assess local prevalence as a risk factor.

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
objectiveTo explore an approach to identify the risk of local prevalence of extended-spectrum β-lactamase-producing Enterobacterales (ESBL-E) on ESBL-E colonization or infection and to reassess known risk factors.
designCase-control study.
settingJohns Hopkins Health System emergency departments (EDs) in the Baltimore-Washington, DC, region. PATIENTS: Patients aged ≥18 years with a culture growing Enterobacterales between April 2019 and December 2021. Cases had a culture growing an ESBL-E.
methodsAddresses were linked to Census Block Groups and placed into communities using a clustering algorithm. Prevalence in each community was estimated using the proportion of ESBL-E among Enterobacterales isolates. Logistic regression was used to determine risk factors for ESBL-E colonization or infection.
resultsESBL-E were detected in 1,167 of 11,224 patients (10.4%). Risk factors included a history of ESBL-E in the prior 6 months (aOR, 20.67; 95% CI, 13.71-31.18), exposure to a skilled nursing or long-term care facility (aOR, 1.64; 95% CI, 1.37-1.96), exposure to a third-generation cephalosporin (aOR, 1.79; 95% CI, 1.46-2.19), exposure to a carbapenem (aOR, 2.31; 95% CI, 1.68-3.18), or exposure to a trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole (aOR, 1.54; 95% CI, 1.06-2.25) within the prior 6 months. Patients were at lower risk if their community had a prevalence <25th percentile in the prior 3 months (aOR, 0.83; 95% CI, 0.71-0.98), 6 months (aOR, 0.83; 95% CI, 0.71-0.98), or 12 months (aOR, 0.81; 95% CI, 0.68-0.95). There was no association between being in a community in the >75
conclusionsThis method of defining the local prevalence of ESBL-E may partially capture differences in the likelihood of a patient having an ESBL-E.
