Antibiotic prescribing and antimicrobial stewardship in long-term care facilities: Past interventions and implementation challenges.
Article in Canada communicable disease report = Releve des maladies transmissibles au Canada, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
Background: The threat of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is rising, leading to increased illness, death and healthcare costs. In long-term care facilities (LTCFs), high rates of infection coupled with high antibiotic use create a selective pressure for antimicrobial-resistant organisms that pose a risk to residents and staff as well as surrounding hospitals and communities. Antimicrobial stewardship (AMS) is paramount in the fight against AMR, but its adoption in LTCFs has been limited. Methods: This article summarizes factors influencing antibiotic prescribing decisions in LTCFs and the effectiveness of past AMS interventions that have been put in place in an attempt to support those decisions. The emphasis of this literature review is the Canadian LTCF landscape; however, due to the limited literature in this area, the scope was broadened to include international studies. Results: Prescribing decisions are influenced by the context of the individual patient, their caregivers, the clinical environment, the healthcare system and surrounding culture. Antimicrobial stewardship interventions were found to be successful in LTCFs, though there was considerable heterogeneity in the literature. Conclusion: This article highlights the need for more well-designed studies that explore innovative and multifaceted solutions to AMS in LTCFs.
