Antibiotic preferences and treatment durations in community-acquired infections.
Article in Northern clinics of Istanbul, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
objectiveSince Infectious diseases and Clinical Microbiology specialists (IDS) are guiding both the community and other health professionals, it is important to use antibiotics in accordance with the guidelines. In this study, it was aimed to evaluate the approaches of IDS to the use of antibiotics and treatment times in community-acquired infections.
methodsOur study was conducted as a digital survey study applied to IDS between January 2019 and December 2020. Community-acquired pneumonia, cystitis, acute tonsillopharangitis, acute otitis media, acute sinusitis, cellulitis, as well as the antibiotics they prefer and their duration of treatment, were asked by questionnaire method. A descriptive statistical analysis was performed on all the information obtained.
resultsA total of 203 IDS participated in the study. About 34.7% of the participants worked as specialists for 0-5 years, 33.6% between 6 and 15 years, and 31.7% for more than 15 years. Most of the participants had problems adhering to the guidelines recommendations in their choice of antibiotics and in determining the duration of treatment. Non-compliance rates were higher among specialists who served for more than 5 years.
conclusionBy providing radical changes in both specialty training and post-specialty trainings, creating online learning environments, and encouraging trainings, problems can be solved to a significant extent and new information can be accessed more quickly.
