Prevalence and antimicrobial resistance patterns of nontyphoidal Salmonella in Ghana: a systematic review and meta-analysis.
Review in Tropical medicine and health, 2025. 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
backgroundNontyphoidal Salmonella (NTS) is a foodborne pathogen of major public health concern, especially in Sub-Saharan Africa, including Ghana, where it causes invasive infections. However, data on its prevalence, antimicrobial resistance (AMR) patterns, and associated serovars in Ghana are fragmented across multiple studies.
objectiveThis systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to consolidate data on the prevalence, phenotypic and genotypic antimicrobial resistance profiles of NTS in Ghana.
methodsFollowing PRISMA guidelines, a systematic search was conducted on August 8, 2024, across four databases: PubMed, ScienceDirect, Scopus, and Web of Science. A total of 31 studies were included. A random-effects model was used to estimate the pooled prevalence of NTS and the resistance levels of antibiotics reported in two or more studies. Subgroup analysis, multivariate analysis, sensitivity analysis, Egger's test, and forest plots were performed to explore variations, assess the influence of individual studies, test for publication bias, and visualize pooled estimates.
resultsThe pooled prevalence of NTS was estimated at 4.69% (95% CI 2.65-8.16) with high heterogeneity observed among the studies (I
conclusionDespite ongoing interventions, NTS remains a significant public health challenge in Ghana, with high AMR levels. The continued rise in resistance to critical antibiotics highlights the need for a One Health approach, improved diagnostics, enhanced surveillance, and targeted public health measures to control NTS and mitigate AMR.
