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

In 2022, WHO released the WHO AWaRe (Access, Watch, Reserve) antibiotic book to promote the rational use of antibiotics. Here, we review the AWaRe antibiotic book from the perspective of implementation in low-resource settings, using the Lao PDR (Laos) as a case study. Not all recommendations in the AWaRe antibiotic book match the epidemiology of infectious diseases and antimicrobial susceptibility patterns in Laos and other low- and middle-income countries (LMICs), e.g. melioidosis, rickettsial disease and leptospirosis are common causes of sepsis and febrile illness in Laos but do not feature in the AWaRe book. Conversely, some infectious diseases like
