Factors associated with failure of fecal microbiota transplant for recurrent

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: Objectives: In this study, we seek to identify factors predictive of FMT failure. Design: Retrospective cohort study. Methods: A retrospective chart review was conducted on adult patients who were screened at the Complicated Results: In total, 240 patients underwent FMT: 70.4% were female, the median age was 68, and the median episode of CDI was 4. A total of 24.6% experienced failure within 1 year (18.3% had rCDI and 7.1% died). Age 70 or older (odds ratio (OR) = 2.66 (1.29-5.67)), ⩾4 episodes of CDI (OR = 3.13 (1.47-7.09)), and diabetes mellitus (OR = 2.82 (1.25-6.50)) were associated with failure on multivariate analysis. Conclusion: Our study shows that FMT remains an effective treatment for rCDI. We highlight several factors associated with FMT failure, such as older age, ⩾4 episodes of CDI, and diabetes mellitus, and the need for additional research to clearly define causality.
