Carriage and antimicrobial susceptibility patterns of rectal ESBL
Article in JAC-antimicrobial resistance, 2024. 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: Surgical site infections (SSIs) are on the rise and are a global concern as they complicate the recovery of patients postoperatively. Bacterial colonization of the patient's skin and alimentary tract are known to be major contributing sources to SSIs. However, Zambia lacks data relating to carriage rates of antibiotic-resistant rectal Methods: This was a cross-sectional study aimed at determining the preoperative (preop) and postoperative (postop) carriage and antimicrobial susceptibility patterns of rectal ESBL-producing Results: A total of 120 study participants were recruited, of which 75 were followed up at least 72 h after surgery. From 195 rectal swabs cultured, 177 (90.8%) were positive for Conclusions: The study showed a significantly higher rate of antimicrobial-resistant rectal
