[Antibiotic Use Analysis in Long-term Care Hospitals in the Republic of Korea].
Article in Jugan geon-gang gwa jilbyeong, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Patients in long-term care hospitals (LTCHs) are vulnerable to infections and are frequently prescribed antibiotics; however, the inappropriate use of antibiotics is common, leading to a high risk of developing resistance. The Korea Disease Control and Prevention Agency conducted a quantitative and qualitative evaluation of antibiotic use and surveyed doctor's perceptions in domestic LTCHs from 2020 to 2022. The survey results showed that LTCHs had the highest antibiotic usage among the various healthcare institutions, with a 28.1% increase in usage from 2020 to 2022. Moreover, the appropriateness of antibiotic prescriptions for patients was low at only 35.2% (252/715). Due to inadequate awareness of antibiotic use, many LTCHs doctors have expressed a strong demand for proper antimicrobial stewardship. Since LTCHs lack personnel and infectious disease diagnosis infrastructure necessary to perform antimicrobial stewardship programs, customized antibiotic use guidelines for LTCHs are needed.
