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

Antimicrobial therapy remains central to the management of gastrointestinal and urinary tract infections, yet its effectiveness is increasingly compromised by antimicrobial resistance and antibiotic-induced microbiome disruption. These challenges are particularly pronounced in gastro-renal settings, where recurrent infections, altered drug absorption and impaired renal clearance generate substantial pharmacokinetic variability and narrow therapeutic margins. Empiric, guideline-based regimens may therefore contribute to treatment failure, resistance selection, and disease recurrence. Artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning offer novel opportunities to optimize antimicrobial therapy by integrating clinical, microbiological and multi-omics data to predict resistance, guide antibiotic selection and dosing, and support antimicrobial stewardship. However, clinical translation remains limited by data heterogeneity, insufficient prospective validation, regulatory constraints, and the need for continued human oversight. This review synthesizes current AI-driven strategies relevant to gastro-renal infections, highlighting shared pathophysiological challenges, practical clinical applications and key limitations. An integrated framework for AI-assisted antimicrobial optimization is proposed to enhance therapeutic efficacy while mitigating antimicrobial resistance and preserving microbiome integrity.
