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

backgroundAntimicrobial stewardship programs (ASPs) aim to optimize antimicrobial use by minimizing the spread of antimicrobial resistance. The core elements for implementing ASPs in healthcare facilities have been developed by the World Health Organization, international research group and government agencies of various countries. However, to date, there is no documented core elements for implementation of ASP in Korea. This survey aimed to establish a national consensus on a set of core elements and their related checklist items for the implementation of ASPs in Korean general hospitals. MATERIALS AND

methodsThe survey was conducted from July 2022 to August 2022 by the Korean Society for Antimicrobial Therapy with support from the Korea Disease Control and Prevention Agency. A literature review was conducted by searching Medline and relevant websites to retrieve a list of core elements and checklist items. These core elements and checklist items were evaluated by a multidisciplinary panel of experts using a structured modified Delphi consensus procedure, using two-step survey included online in-depth questionnaires and in-person meeting.

resultsThe literature review identified 6 core elements (Leadership commitment, Operating system, Action, Tracking, Reporting, and Education) and 37 related checklist items. Fifteen experts participated in the consensus procedures. Ultimately, all 6 core elements were retained, and 28 checklist items were proposed, all with ≥80% agreement; in addition 9 items were merged into 2 items, 2 items were deleted, and 15 items were rephrased.

conclusionThis Delphi survey provides useful indicators for the implementation of ASP in Korea and suggests national policy improvement about the barriers (
