ReviewTherapeutic advances in infectious disease
Antimicrobial stewardship and antibiograms: importance of moving beyond traditional antibiograms.
Review in Therapeutic advances in infectious disease. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT05239312 (Antibiogram and Biofilm Formation of Bacteria Causing Prosthetic Joint Infections Isolated From Assiut University Hospital), which is not on this map. Cited by 39 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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.

Abstract
The rapid evolution of resistance, particularly among Gram-negative bacteria, requires appropriate identification of patients at risk followed by administration of appropriate empiric antibiotic therapy. A primary tenet of antimicrobial stewardship programs (ASPs) is the establishment of empiric antibiotic recommendations for commonly encountered infections. An important tool in providing empiric antibiotic therapy recommendations is the use of an antibiogram. While the majority of institutions use a traditional antibiogram, ASPs have an opportunity to enhance antibiogram data. The authors provide the rationale for why ASPs should implement alternative antibiograms, and the importance of incorporating an antibiogram into clinical decision support systems with the goal of providing effective empiric antibiotic therapy.
