Association of factors linked to health inequalities and the risk of antibiotic-resistant infection in high-income countries: a systematic scoping review.
Review in JAC-antimicrobial resistance, 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
Introduction: Antibiotic-resistant infections (ARIs) disproportionately affect vulnerable populations, yet research of health inequalities in ARIs is limited. This scoping review explores the relationship between health inequalities factors and the risk of ARI in high-income countries. Methods: We searched Ovid Embase, Ovid MEDLINE All and Google Scholar for studies from high-income countries between January 2010 and February 2024. Health inequalities factors assessed included socioeconomic status, protected characteristics and vulnerable groups. Studies on sexually transmitted, foodborne, viral and fungal infections were excluded. Results: Of 331 papers reviewed, 18 were included. Studies were from the USA (12), UK (2), New Zealand (2) and Australia (1). Conclusions: We highlight the potential impact of factors associated with health inequalities on the risk of ARIs, with higher rates of resistant infection associated with ethnic minorities and income inequalities.
