Impact of Multidisciplinary Collaboration on Microbiological Specimen Submission and Appropriate Use of Carbapenems: A Pre-Post Cohort Study.
Article in Infection and drug resistance, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Purpose: This study assessed the impact of multidisciplinary collaborative management on microbiological specimen submission rates and the rational use of carbapenem antibiotics. Patients and Methods: A pre- and post-intervention cohort design was employed. From February to November 2024, a multidisciplinary antimicrobial stewardship intervention was implemented for hospitalized patients receiving carbapenem antibiotics. Patients treated in January 2024 served as the control group, and those in November 2024 formed the intervention group. Results: Following the intervention, the pathogen testing rate among patients receiving carbapenem treatment increased significantly from 64.76% to 74.27% ( Conclusion: A multidisciplinary, information-based intervention significantly improved pathogen testing and promoted more rational carbapenem use, highlighting the value of collaborative antimicrobial stewardship.
