Antimicrobial resistance among clinical isolates associated with combat-related infections in Ukraine: first nationwide surveillance, 2023-2024.
Article in npj antimicrobials and resistance, 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
Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a critical global health threat, which reduces the effectiveness of treatment and drives higher morbidity, mortality, and costs. In Ukraine, the problem has been further aggravated by Russia's full-scale invasion, with favorable conditions for the spread of resistant pathogens. We characterized the isolation frequencies and resistance patterns among main ESKAPE pathogens in combat wound infections in Ukraine in 2023-2024 ̶ Enterococcus faecium, Staphylococcus aureus, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Acinetobacter baumannii, and Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Among 40,823 microbial strains isolated 18,848 were identified for surveillance. Approximately 1,000 isolates of MDR Gram-negative organisms submitted for verification at the Reference Laboratory confirm the ongoing spread of multidrug-resistant (MDR) hospital-acquired pathogens in Ukraine. We found that ~60% of verified K. pneumoniae strains carried MBLs conferring near-pan resistance to β-lactams. We provided enhanced epidemiological surveillance data on antimicrobial resistance in microorganisms causing wound infections among combat-injured patients, along with antimicrobial prescribing practices, which underscore the urgent need for coordinated antibiotic stewardship and infection control programs adapted to wartime conditions. Our findings further support the establishment and strengthening of sustained surveillance of ESKAPE pathogens in wartime wound infections, alongside broader capacity-building efforts within healthcare systems.
