1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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: This study aimed to identify gaps and barriers to the use of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) surveillance data in Uganda and to recommend enhancements to improve policy and intervention outcomes. Design: A comprehensive assessment was conducted within a framework of infrastructural and system analysis, stakeholder engagement, and data management simulations. Methods: The assessment consisted of three components: (1) assessing data utilization through stakeholder engagement to identify barriers in data translation and use; (2) evaluating the existing infrastructure and surveillance system supporting AMR data flow; and (3) simulating processes of data management and flow to contextualize identified gaps. Results: Findings revealed deficiencies in the AMR data governance structure and informatics capabilities. Stakeholders highlighted limited access to data and analytical capacity as barriers to effective decision-making. The existing infrastructure lacks the capability for real-time data analysis, which limits the ability to inform national and health facility policies. Strengthening data management processes, enhancing analytical tools, and fostering stakeholder collaboration at all levels are recommended for efficient data utilization. Conclusions: Addressing these gaps is crucial for strengthening AMR surveillance in Uganda, enabling more effective data use to guide intervention and policies, and ultimately improving public health outcomes.
