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

Background: Very little is known about antimicrobial stewardship knowledge, attitudes, and practices (KAP) among health care practitioners in small, community hospitals (SCHs) compared to large community hospitals (LCHs). Objective: To compare infectious diseases (ID) clinical resources and describe KAP pertaining to antimicrobial stewardship among prescribers, pharmacists, and administrators from a large hospital network including a comparison between SCHs and LCHs. Methods: An anonymous 48-item antimicrobial stewardship KAP survey was administered to pharmacists, prescribers, and administrators at 15 SCH (<200 beds) and 5 LCHs (>200 beds) within an integrated health care network. Results: In total, 588 (14%) completed the survey: 198 from SCHs and 390 from LCHs. Most respondents were familiar or very familiar with the term Conclusion: SCH and LCH pharmacists, prescribers, and administrators are aware of antimicrobial resistance and overuse and agree that antimicrobial stewardship programs are necessary. SCHs are less likely to contact ID for information. These results support the development of antimicrobial stewardship programs at SCHs, while recognizing the significant differences in availability and utilization of resources.
