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: Infections caused by antibiotic-resistant bacteria pose a major challenge to modern healthcare. This systematic review evaluates the efficacy of machine learning (ML) approaches in predicting antimicrobial resistance (AMR) in critical pathogens (CP), considering Whole Genome Sequencing (WGS) and antimicrobial susceptibility testing (AST). Methods: The search covered databases including PubMed/MEDLINE, EMBASE, Web of Science, SCOPUS, and SCIELO, from their inception until June 2024. The review protocol was officially registered on PROSPERO (CRD42024543099). Results: The review included 26 papers, analyzing data from 104,141 microbial samples. Random Forest (RF), XGBoost, and logistic regression (LR) emerged as the top-performing models, with mean Area Under the Receiver Operating Characteristic (AUC) values of 0.89, 0.87, and 0.87, respectively. RF showed superior performance with AUC values ranging from 0.66 to 0.97, while XGBoost and LR showed similar performance with AUC values ranging from 0.83 to 0.91 and 0.76 to 0.96, respectively. Most studies indicate that integrating WGS and AST data into ML models enhances predictive performance, improves antibiotic stewardship, and provides valuable clinical decision support. ML shows significant promise for predicting AMR by integrating WGS and AST data in CP. Standardized guidelines are needed to ensure consistency in future research.
