Factors Associated With Longer Than Recommended Durations of Antibiotic Therapy for Uncomplicated Ambulatory Infections in an Integrated Healthcare System.
Article in Open forum infectious diseases, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Across the ambulatory care network of an integrated health care system, durations of antibiotic therapy prescribed for uncomplicated infections were longer than recommended in 39% of cases. By logistic regression, site of care, prescriber characteristics, and type of infection were independently associated with longer than recommended durations of therapy.
