Challenges in measuring antibiotic consumption.
Article in Current infectious disease reports, 2013. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 16 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
The measurement of antibacterial consumption is important for tracking use over time, for assessing correlations between use and antibacterial resistance, and for serving as an outcome measure for antimicrobial stewardship programs. Accurate and consistent measures of use are important for meaningful inter- and intrainstitutional comparisons. The defined daily dose (DDD) and days of therapy methods are commonly used measures in the adult population; however, there is no one ideal measure of consumption that covers the breadth and depth of antibacterial prescribing. The use of the DDD and the prescribed daily dose methods, with further stratification of use by weight and age groups, aids in the evaluation of antimicrobial use in pediatric patients. Increasing availability of computerized pharmacy data should enhance the collection and analysis of data from hospitals.
