1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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: Enterococci are important opportunistic pathogens responsible for a wide range of infections in humans and animals. Their ability to acquire and disseminate antimicrobial resistance (AMR) poses a growing public health concern. This study is aimed at estimating the pooled prevalence of enterococci and their AMR profiles among isolates from humans, animals, and environmental sources in Bangladesh. Methods: We conducted a systematic literature search in PubMed, Google Scholar, and CAB Abstracts in accordance with the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines. Studies published between January 2016 and November 2025 that reported the prevalence and/or AMR patterns of enterococci in Bangladesh were eligible for inclusion. A total of 36 studies met the inclusion criteria and were included in the final analysis. Pooled prevalence estimates were calculated using random-effects meta-analysis, with heterogeneity assessed via Cochran's Results: The pooled prevalence of enterococci was estimated at 12.05% (95% CI: 7.10-19.70), with substantial heterogeneity ( Conclusions: The findings underscore the urgent need for rational antimicrobial use, strengthened infection prevention and control measures, improved environmental hygiene, and integrated One Health surveillance across human, animal, and environmental settings to mitigate the burden of antimicrobial-resistant enterococci.
