A Comprehensive Review of Digestive Endoscopy-Associated Infections: Bacterial Pathogens, Host Susceptibility, and the Impact of Viral Hepatitis.
Review in Microorganisms, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
Gastrointestinal (GI) interventional endoscopy has evolved into a cornerstone of modern gastroenterology, offering minimally invasive solutions for complex conditions. However, these procedures are not without risk, particularly with respect to post-procedural infections. While rare, such infections can have significant clinical consequences and are increasingly recognized as a public health concern. This narrative review provides a comprehensive overview of infections associated with GI endoscopy, focusing on transmission mechanisms, microbial agents involved, host susceptibility, preventive strategies, and diagnostic and therapeutic approaches. Infections following GI endoscopy remain infrequent but clinically significant, particularly in high-risk procedures such as endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography and endoscopic ultrasound. Duodenoscopes represent a major vector for exogenous infection, often involving multidrug-resistant bacteria such as
