Intestinal Colonization of Multidrug-Resistant Organisms: Identification and Antibiotic Susceptibility Patterns of Bacteria Isolated From Healthy Human Fecal Specimens.
Article in Cureus, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Introduction Intestinal carriage of multidrug-resistant organisms (MDROs) in healthy populations could amplify resistant bacteria, which may increase the risk of infections by these bacteria in the community and in the hospital. This study investigated the prevalence of colonization of multidrug-resistant (MDR) bacteria in the intestines of healthy individuals in South India. Methods A prospective study was conducted for six months at a tertiary care teaching hospital. Two hundred and fifty-five fecal samples collected from healthy individuals were processed according to standard microbiological guidelines. The bacteria (n=291) isolated from the samples were identified and evaluated using phenotypic detection methods for the presence of extended-spectrum beta-lactamase (ESBL), AmpC β-lactamase, carbapenemase, methicillin resistance, and vancomycin resistance. Results The prevalence of intestinal carriage of MDR bacteria in healthy populations was 57.04% (166/291).
