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
purposeThis retrospective pilot study aimed to investigate the antibiotic regimens used to treat PATIENTS AND
methodsThe medical charts of all patients admitted to Phang-Nga Hospital, Thailand, between 1 January 2019 and 31 May 2020 due to
resultsOf the 32 inpatients recruited in the study, the most prescribed antibiotic regimen for empirical therapy was beta-lactam/beta-lactamase inhibitor monotherapy (22%), and for definitive therapy was meropenem monotherapy (28%). Combination therapy with two, three, or four antibiotics was prescribed less than 50% of cases for both empirical and definitive therapy. Moreover, the results indicated that patients receiving combination therapy had a lower clinical response and higher mortality than those receiving monotherapy. Furthermore, regimens containing colistin did not provide a higher clinical cure compared to those without colistin.
conclusionThe results of this pilot study support the use of monotherapy antibiotic regimens, including ceftazidime and meropenem, for the treatment of
