1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Maximum antibiotic usage within hospitals occurs in critical care areas. Reasons for this usage are the moribund state of patients, invasive devices, and protocol based necessity for empiric antibiotic initiation in most critical conditions. Although unavoidable, prudent use of antibiotics (empiric and therapeutic) should be tailored based on national or if available, unit-based hospital antibiogram. This forms the footstool of every antibiotic policy formulated at tertiary care hospitals. Strict adherence to antibiotic policy formulated based on hospital antibiogram largely benefits patients and hospital-wide antimicrobial stewardship is ensured. The necessity, benefits, key targets, and usefulness of antimicrobial stewardship program (AMSP) in critical care has been elaborated in this review.
