Efficacy of a Multicenter Hospital Network's Approach to Enacting Blood Culture Stewardship During a Global Shortage.
Article in Open forum infectious diseases, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
The recent global blood culture bottle shortage forced hospitals to implement new diagnostic stewardship programs. In this brief report, we describe our approach as a multicenter hospital network through a system-wide memorandum and the implementation of a best practice advisory, which decreased the use of blood cultures without negatively affecting the sepsis-related mortality rate.
