Prevalence of antimicrobial resistance in Somalia: A systematic review.
Review in IJID regions, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 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
Objectives: Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a severe but poorly documented threat in Somalia due to its fragmented healthcare system. This study reviews AMR prevalence and clinical impact in Somalia, comparing the findings to regional trends to address this critical data gap. Methods: This study was a systematic literature review of antimicrobial susceptibility patterns in Somalia. Data on resistance rates for common Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria were extracted, calculated as a proportion of resistant isolates, and then narratively synthesized in summary tables. Results: The data reveal a critical state of AMR in Somalia. Among Gram-positive bacteria, there is a near-total prevalence of methicillin-resistant Conclusions: Somalia's AMR crisis has rendered standard antibiotics ineffective. Urgent action is required, including national surveillance, local treatment guidelines, and antimicrobial stewardship to control this threat.
