Impact of an antimicrobial stewardship program in a COVID-19 reference hospital according to the AWaRe classification.
Observational study in American journal of infection control, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. An erratum has been issued. Cited by 4 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
This was a prospective observational study performed between January and October 2021. Antimicrobial consumption was classified according to AWaRe and expressed as daily defined doses (DDD/1000 patient-days). Watch group antibiotic consumption demonstrated a strong correlation with carbapenem resistance among both clinical and total isolates, but Acinetobacter baumannii resistance did not correlate with antimicrobial consumption. Efforts to reduce antimicrobial consumption are needed; however, prevention and control guidelines are also a cornerstone to better results.
