A Risk-Based Isolation Strategy for MDR-Endemic Facilities with Limited Resources.
Review in Infectious disease reports, 2026. 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
BACKGROUND/
objectivesThe increasing burden of multidrug-resistant (MDR) microorganisms and limited resources in healthcare settings are making traditional strategies based on routine isolation of all carriers unsustainable.
methodsA clinical narrative review was conducted by searching PubMed, Web of Science, and Google Scholar for studies published between 2011 and 2025. International guidelines were analyzed to synthesize a sustainable infection control strategy.
resultsHigh-quality evidence, including cluster-randomized trials, indicates that routine contact isolation for endemic ESBL-producing Enterobacterales (IRR: 0.99) and VRE (RR: 0.93) provides no additional benefit over standard precautions. In contrast, strict isolation remains vital for high-threat pathogens such as Carbapenem-Resistant Enterobacterales (CRE),
conclusionsTraditional one-size-fits-all infection control is increasingly unsustainable under resource constraints. A risk-based approach prioritizing horizontal measures for low-risk pathogens enables a more balanced allocation of limited resources toward high-threat containment.
