Providing value to patients and providers via a pediatric statewide antibiogram in South Carolina.

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
Objective: Antimicrobial stewardship has special challenges in particular populations and facilities, including pediatrics. We sought to augment the information available to antimicrobial stewardship programs (ASPs) by created a cumulative statewide antibiogram for neonatal and pediatric populations. Methods: In the Antimicrobial Stewardship Collaborative of South Carolina (ASC-SC), we created statewide antibiograms, including a separate antibiogram accounting for the pediatric and neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) populations. We collated data from the 4 pediatric and 3 NICU facilities in the state to provide a cumulative statewide antibiogram. Results: Methicillin-susceptible Staphylococcus aureus was more prevalent than methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus. Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Citrobacter koserii, and Acinetobacter baumannii were isolated in only 1 NICU. Conclusions: These antibiograms should improve empiric prescribing in both the inpatient and outpatient setting, providing data in some areas that historically do not have pediatric antibiogram to inform prescribing. The antibiogram alone is not sufficient independently to improve prescribing but is one important aspect of stewardship in the pediatric population of South Carolina.
