An Update on Recent Clinical Trial Data in Bloodstream Infection.
Review 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 8 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
Bloodstream infections (BSIs) remain a significant source of morbidity and mortality globally, exacerbated by an ageing population and rising antimicrobial resistance (AMR). This review offers an updated evaluation of randomized clinical trials (RCTs) in BSI management from 2018 onwards, focusing on the evolving landscape of diagnostics and treatment. New rapid diagnostic technologies and shorter antimicrobial courses have transformed clinical practice, reducing the time to appropriate therapy and hospital stays. Several RCTs demonstrated that rapid phenotypic and genotypic tests shorten the time to optimal therapy, especially when paired with antimicrobial stewardship. Ongoing trials are investigating novel antimicrobial regimens and the safety of early oral switch strategies, particularly for Gram-positive and Gram-negative BSIs. Recent RCTs on
