Statewide analysis of NHSN antimicrobial use rate and standardized antimicrobial administration ratio (SAAR) 2017-2023, Tennessee.
Article in Antimicrobial stewardship & healthcare epidemiology : ASHE, 2025. 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 describe antimicrobial use in Tennessee from 2017 to 2023. Design: Retrospective analysis of antimicrobial use using data from the National Healthcare Safety Network (NHSN) Antimicrobial Use (AU) Option. Setting: Acute care and critical access facilities in Tennessee. Results: From 2017 to 2023, 97 facilities in Tennessee submitted data to the NHSN AU Option. The number of reporting facilities increased from 25 to 95. During this time, the statewide average antimicrobial use significantly rose from 593 days of therapy (DOT)/1000 days present (DP) to 621 DOT/1000 DP ( Conclusions: This statewide analysis of AU and SAAR trends identifies areas where additional antimicrobial stewardship efforts may be targeted to improve antimicrobial use. Facilities of different sizes and geographic locations have unique demographics that can affect antimicrobial use, requiring specialized antimicrobial stewardship techniques.
