Emulation of a Target Trial to Estimate the Effect of Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitors on the Development of Antimicrobial-Resistant Infections using Electronic Health Record Data and Causal Machine Learning.
Article in AMIA ... Annual Symposium proceedings. AMIA Symposium, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Antimicrobial resistance is a significant public health concern. The use of selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs), medications commonly prescribed to treat depression, anxiety, and other psychiatric disorders, is increasing. Previous in vitro studies have shown that bacteria can become resistant to antibiotics when exposed to SSRIs. In this study, we emulated a target trial to estimate the effect of SSRI usage on the incidence of antibiotic-resistant infection. Our study population consisted of patients with mood, anxiety, or stress-related disorders, and a record of previous antimicrobial susceptibility testing or diagnosis of bacterial infection. Univariable, multivariable survival regression, and causal survival forest analyses all showed that patients treated with SSRIs had a higher risk of developing an antibiotic-resistant infection than those not treated with SSRIs. This study confirms the in vitro findings and may provide insights for future studies exploring the relationship of treatment with SSRIs and subsequent antibiotic-resistant infection.
