Prevalence and pattern of antibiotic use and resistance among Iraqi patients: a cross-sectional study.
Article in African health sciences, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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: According to The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) 2019, around 32,000 deaths in addition 2.8 million infections occur annually in the US because of antibiotic-resistant bacteria. Objectives: To determine the prevalence and study pattern of antibiotic use and resistance among Iraqi patients. Methodology: We carried out a cross-sectional study from January 2021 to October 2022 including data of 850 patients at different private and general hospitals, primary health centers, and private clinics. The data was collected during the patient's admission or visiting time using medical records and mini-interviews. Results: Conclusion: Antibiotic resistance is a major public health concern that is often caused by the overuse and misuse of antibiotics, as well as poor infection control practices.
