Occurrence and Removal of Antibiotic Resistance in Nationwide Hospital Wastewater Deciphered by Metagenomics Approach - China, 2018-2022.
Article in China CDC weekly, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. An erratum has been issued. Cited by 4 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
What is already known about this topic?: Hospital wastewater represents a significant conduit for the dissemination of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs), including those that are of clinical importance. Yet, the variation in antibiotic resistance on a national level, which can be influenced by regional differences, has not been thoroughly elucidated. What is added by this report?: Uniform methodologies were employed to analyze data from various provincial-level administrative divisions in China, aiming to investigate the patterns of antibiotic resistance across these regions. This analysis illuminated the location preferences of clinically ARGs on plasmids. Additionally, our study uncovered regional variations in the presumed bacterial hosts of ARGs at the genus level. What are the implications for public health practice?: This investigation has shed light on the nationwide prevalence of ARGs in hospital wastewater in China, uncovering the significant ecological and public health risks associated with the disposal of such effluents.
