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

The standardized antibiotic administration ratio (SAAR) enables comparison of antibiotic use (AU) within and between hospitals and identifies target locations and antimicrobials for stewardship interventions. Thousands of institutions have already been submitting AU to the National Healthcare Safety Network. We highlight the benefits and meaningful utilization of SAAR in conjunction with antimicrobial stewardship interventions to improve antimicrobial prescribing in the clinical setting.
