Forest plot depicting the prevalence of E. coli isolated from humans, animals, and environments in Bangladesh. The estimate of the prevalence was determined by combining the findings of 36 separate studies by applying a random-effects model to the data. An I² value > 75% and a p-value < 0.05 were deemed statistically significant. The R program was used to analyse the data and generate the figure. Events = No. of positive E. coli isolated from each study, Total = Sample size of each study, CI = Confidence interval, H = Human, A = Animal, E = Environment.
