Emerging antimicrobial resistance and need for antimicrobial stewardship for ocular infections in India: A narrative review.
Review in Indian journal of ophthalmology, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 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
Patients with ocular infections are at increased risk of vision impairment and may require immediate medical care to preserve their vision. Management of ocular bacterial infections has evolved in recent years and includes a pragmatic selection of broad-spectrum antibiotics based on the causative bacteria. Nevertheless, the treatment of bacterial ocular infections is increasingly becoming a challenge, as the causative bacterium acquires resistance to antibiotics through intrinsic and acquired methods. From an Indian perspective, along with the challenges of antibiotic resistance, there are other factors such as lack of knowledge on epidemiology, and lack of data on local susceptibility patterns of ocular pathogens that have significant impact on the management of ocular infections. This narrative review summarizes the available knowledge on prescribing antibiotics for five common ocular infections in India. It further highlights the significance of the understanding of antimicrobial susceptibility patterns across India as a cornerstone to promote rational use of ocular antibiotics. This review indicates that large-scale antimicrobial resistance surveillance studies can facilitate the synchronization of ophthalmic antimicrobial prescription policies with local antibiotic resistance patterns. Further, establishment of an antimicrobial stewardship program in ophthalmology can potentially increase the efficacy of diagnostic tools, and implement earlier adoption of effective antibiotics. Overall, this review provides consolidated information and key considerations for treatment decision-making of common ocular infections in India.
