Percent of published articles in different regions of Ethiopia.
The country has 9 regions and two city administrations. Reports were from 8 of them which are indicated in the figure. Reports were not found from Afar, Somali, and Benishangul Gumuz regions during the period of data collection (SNNP = South Nation and Nationalities Region).

Forest plot of pooled prevalence estimates of Gram-negative enteric bacterial pathogens among diarrheic patients.
The middle solid vertical line represents the minimum possible prevalence value (0). The dashed line represents the mean pooled prevalence estimate. The black diamond at the centre of the grey box represents the point prevalence estimate of each study and the horizontal line indicates the 95% confidence interval of the estimates. The grey box shows the weight of each study contributing to the pooled prevalence estimate. The last row represents the overall pooled prevalence estimate with a 95% confidence interval.
