Successful antibiotic stewardship in the electronic era.
Review in JAC-antimicrobial resistance, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
A multi-faceted antimicrobial stewardship programme contributed to a 17.8% reduction in antibiotic consumption for our English NHS Trust. This dramatic achievement could be partially attributed to an empirical antibiotic guideline change, introduction of procalcitonin testing to guide in antibiotic decisions in SARS-CoV-2 inpatients and use of electronic antibiotic stewardship strategies. In this article, we describe the multifaceted, step-by-step antibiotic stewardship approach that weathered the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic and led to this dramatic improvement. Also included for completeness are interventions that did not pass the plan, do, study, act (PDSA) cycle and were therefore discontinued.
