Closing the antimicrobial stewardship gap - a call for LMICs to embrace the global antimicrobial stewardship accreditation scheme.

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
The escalating challenge of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) poses a considerable concern for global health, particularly impacting low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). This article highlights the critical importance of tackling AMR in LMICs by adopting the Global Antimicrobial Stewardship Accreditation Scheme (GAMSAS). GAMSAS is portrayed as a holistic and sustainable strategy for antimicrobial stewardship, extending beyond accreditation to include educational programs, capacity enhancement, improved surveillance, and support for AMS policy research. While acknowledging the global uptake of the scheme, the article highlights its preliminary phase of adoption in LMICs, particularly in high-AMR burden regions like Sub-Saharan Africa. The piece stresses the imperative for LMICs to integrate GAMSAS, underscoring its significance in optimizing antimicrobial usage and patient health outcomes. It advocates for an all-encompassing approach that leverages international cooperation and sustained financial backing, crucial for the effective deployment and enduring success of antimicrobial stewardship efforts in these key areas.
