A New Preview of Antibiotic-resistant Spectrum in Community-acquired Pneumonia: A Cross-Sectional Study from Iraq.
Article in The open respiratory medicine journal, 2026. 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/Objectives: Community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) remains one of the leading sources of morbidity/mortality in the world. However, the increasing problem of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) aggravates the issue. This research intends to explore the prevalent levels of resistance to antibacterial drugs in bacteria isolated from patients in Iraq experiencing CAP. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted on 122 clinically and radiologically confirmed CAP patients at Al-Yarmouk Teaching Hospital, Baghdad, from May 2023 to June 2024. Sputum samples were evaluated microscopically and analyzed for culture and sensitivity using the VITEK Results: Of 122 patients, 44 (36.1%) had positive bacterial cultures. Discussion: This study provides the first detailed resistance profile for CAP pathogens in Iraq using modern automated diagnostics. The findings reveal alarmingly high levels of antibiotic resistance, including pan-resistant strains. Conclusion: The problem of antibiotic resistance in CAP in Iraq is very serious and rising because of the development of pan-resistant bacteria. Currently, the requirement exists for comprehensive antibiotic stewardship programs in the whole of Iraq, along with strict implementation of measures against the free sale of antibiotics.
