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 resistance (AMR) remains a significant public health concern, closely linked to antibiotic overuse. During the COVID-19 pandemic, broad-spectrum antibiotics were frequently administered, potentially exacerbating AMR. This study aimed to assess AMR patterns in our urology department before and after the pandemic.

methodsThe study encompassed patients admitted to our urology department from January 2016 to December 2022, with confirmed urinary tract infection, bloodstream infection, or wound infection based on positive culture results. Descriptive statistics, including mean, frequency, and percentage, summarized the data. Trends were analyzed using the Joinpoint Regression program.

resultsA total of 506 patients were included.

conclusionThe COVID-19 pandemic did not appear to influence the AMR incidence in our urology department. However, the overall prevalence of AMR and MDROs in our department remains high compared to European AMR.
