Frequency of antimicrobial-resistant bloodstream infections in 111 hospitals in Thailand, 2022.
Article in The Journal of infection, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 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
objectivesTo evaluate the frequency of antimicrobial-resistant bloodstream infections (AMR BSI) in Thailand.
methodsWe analyzed data from 2022, generated by 111 public hospitals in health regions 1 to 12, using the AutoMated tool for Antimicrobial resistance Surveillance System (AMASS), and submitted to the Ministry of Public Health, Thailand. Multilevel Poisson regression models were used.
resultsThe most common cause of community-origin AMR BSI was third-generation cephalosporin-resistant Escherichia coli (3GCREC, 65.6%; 5101/7773 patients) and of hospital-origin AMR BSI was carbapenem-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii (CRAB, 51.2%, 4968/9747 patients). The percentage of patients tested for BSI was negatively associated with the frequency of community-origin 3GCREC BSI and hospital-origin CRAB BSI (per 100,000 tested patients). Hospitals in health regions 4 (lower central region) had the highest frequency of community-origin 3GCREC BSI (adjusted incidence rate ratio, 2.06; 95% confidence interval: 1.52-2.97). Health regions were not associated with the frequency of hospital-origin CRAB BSI, and between-hospital variation was high, even adjusting for hospital level and size.
conclusionThe high between-hospital variation of hospital-origin CRAB BSI suggests the importance of hospital-specific factors. Our approach and findings highlight health regions and hospitals where actions against AMR infection, including antimicrobial stewardship and infection control, should be prioritized.
