The Impact of Clinical Pharmacist-Driven Weekend Antimicrobial Stewardship Coverage at a Quaternary Hospital.
Article in Antibiotics (Basel, Switzerland), 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
BACKGROUND AND
objectiveExtending a consistent pharmacy antimicrobial stewardship weekend service was a newly implemented initiative. We sought to evaluate the impact of incorporating an Infectious Diseases (ID)-trained clinical pharmacist into an antimicrobial stewardship program (AMS) during weekends.
resultsThe number of documented interventions was 451 on 362 patients compared to 115 interventions on 108 patients during the pre-implementation period (
methodsThis is a retrospective single-center, pre-post quasi-experimental study. Data including the documented pharmacist interventions were collected from the electronic medical record (EMR), the pre-implementation phase was in 2020, and post-implementation was in 2021. The primary outcome was to identify the number of AMS interventions through prospective audit and feedback review analysis. Secondary outcomes included antibiotic days of therapy (DOT), length of hospital stay (LOS), healthcare-associated
conclusionsThe pharmacist-driven weekend AMS is an opportunity for pharmacists to intervene and optimize patients' care plans. This initiative demonstrated significant increased AMS-related interventions, promoted judicious antimicrobial use, and contributed to a reduced length of hospital stay. Our findings need to be replicated in a larger prospective study.
