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

Background: Infectious diseases (ID) and antimicrobial stewardship (AS) improve Methods: An IDt service offering IDt physician consultation plus IDt pharmacist surveillance was implemented in October 2016. Patients treated for SAB in 16 SCHs between January 2009 and August 2019 were identified for review. We compared SAB bundle adherence and outcomes between patients with and without an IDt consult (IDt group and control group, respectively). Results: A total of 423 patients met inclusion criteria: 157 in the IDt group and 266 in the control group. Baseline characteristics were similar between groups. Among patients completing their admission at an SCH, IDt consultation increased SAB bundle adherence (79% vs 23%; odds ratio [OR], 16.9; 95% CI, 9.2-31.0). Thirty-day mortality and 90-day SAB recurrence favored the IDt group, but the differences were not statistically significant (5% vs 9%; Conclusions: An integrated ID/AS telehealth service improved SAB management and outcomes at 16 SCHs. These findings provide important insights for other IDt programs.
