1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

Purpose of Review: This review summarises epidemiological research using electronic health records (EHR) for antimicrobial stewardship. Recent Findings: EHRs enable surveillance of antibiotic utilisation and infection consultations. Prescribing for respiratory tract infections has declined in the UK following reduced consultation rates. Reductions in prescribing for skin and urinary tract infections have been less marked. Drug selection has improved and use of broad-spectrum antimicrobics reduced. Diagnoses of pneumonia, sepsis and bacterial endocarditis have increased in primary care. Analytical studies have quantified risks of serious bacterial infections following reduced antibiotic prescribing. EHRs are increasingly used in interventional studies including point-of-care trials and cluster randomised trials of quality improvement. Analytical and interventional studies indicate patient groups for whom antibiotic utilisation may be more safely reduced. Summary: EHRs offer opportunities for surveillance and interventions that engage practitioners in the effects of improved prescribing practices, with the potential for better outcomes with targeted study designs.
