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
Objectives: Rising antimicrobial resistance (AMR) in Methods: The study was conducted in 37 representative centers across 13 countries in Asia (Middle East and Indian Subcontinent), Africa, Europe, and North America. A rigorous comparative analysis of the antimicrobial susceptibility of Results: Antimicrobial susceptibility varied significantly between LMICs and HICs, with nitrofurantoin (89%) and fosfomycin (96%) emerging as empiric choices globally. Across most centers, susceptibility to other oral antimicrobials was low: co-trimoxazole <60%, amoxicillin-clavulanic acid <70%, first-generation cephalosporins <50%, fluoroquinolones <60%. Injectable antibiotics fared better: piperacillin-tazobactam >70%, amikacin and meropenem >80%. Higher susceptibilities were noted in countries with high gross domestic product ( Conclusion: Marked geographical differences in
