The impact of socioeconomic status on the prevalence of antimicrobial resistance in high-income nations: a systematic review.

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: Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) poses an escalating global threat, transforming once-treatable infections into major health challenges. Although antibiotic misuse is a well-known driver of AMR, particularly in low- and middle-income settings, the silent epidemic may be fueled by socioeconomic disparities even in high-income countries. This systematic review investigates the relationship between socioeconomic status (SES) and AMR prevalence across high-income nations based on the World Bank classification. Design: The studies included in this review span multiple observational designs (cross-sectional, cohort, and case-control) across various high-income nations, assessing the association between SES indicators (eg, income, education, and household crowding) and AMR strains, primarily methicillin-resistant Results: Findings consistently indicate that lower SES correlates with higher AMR prevalence, particularly in MRSA infections ( Conclusion: The variability among studies in SES metrics, including income measures and deprivation indices, limits generalizability. Exceptions to this trend, noted in select studies focusing on distinct AMR strains like ceftriaxone-resistant
