Results of an Outpatient Antibiotic Stewardship Survey in Missouri.
Article in Missouri medicine. 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
Objective: To understand the perceptions, knowledge, and opportunities to improve antibiotic prescribing practices among outpatient providers. Methodology: We disseminated a survey to a convenience sample of primary care and internal medicine physicians and mid-level providers practicing in the state of Missouri. Results: Sixty-seven providers completed the survey. Most (64%) providers reported reviewing best practice guidelines and educational materials on a regular basis. Providers were most interested in patient-facing educational materials that would help support best practices. However, substantial variability existed in responses about antibiotic prescribing; some (15%) respondents stated that they rarely review guidelines or use antibiotic stewardship resources. Providers felt that any feedback about antibiotic prescribing practices should be provided via email and should focus on reducing antibiotic use for viral conditions. Conclusion: Missouri survey respondents generally support appropriate antibiotic use to address antibiotic resistance. However, findings also suggest that delivering resources to targeted populations of over-prescribers may be beneficial. Future interventions should include physician-endorsed education to support safe antibiotic use and explore electronic feedback for viral conditions.
