a, b Scatter plots, on a logit scale, of the incidence proportions of Pseudomonas bacteremia (a) and candidemia (b) for groups from 289 studies as listed in Additional file 1: Tables S1 to S5. The mean proportion (and 95% CI) derived by random effect meta-analysis for each category of component (observational [Ob], control [_C] and intervention [_I]) group derived from observational [Ob], non-decontamination (non-D), antibiotic-based and single anti-fungal (SAF) studies, is displayed. In each plot, the benchmark proportion (solid vertical line) is the mean proportion derived from the observational groups. Those component groups that did (solid symbols) versus did not (open symbols) select patients with CRF’s are indicated. NCC non-concurrent control, CC concurrent control. Note that antibiotic groups received multiple exposures in association with compound regimens (e.g. SDD and SOD, which combine TAP, an antifungal together with or without PPAP)
