Evidence-to-Recommendation Framework for 2026 ACE Clinical Guideline on upper respiratory tract infections - rational antimicrobial use.
Article in Singapore medical 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
abstractThis Evidence-to-Recommendation (EtR) framework underpins the ACE Clinical Guideline (ACG) for rational antimicrobial use in upper respiratory tract infections (URTIs). Upper respiratory tract infections are one of the most frequent presentations in primary healthcare settings, and they offer a critical opportunity for clinicians to promote antimicrobial stewardship through evidence-based prescribing practices. Utilising Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development and Evaluation methodology, four evidence-informed recommendations have been formulated to support clinicians in assessing URTIs and making appropriate antimicrobial treatment decisions. This EtR framework synthesises the available evidence base alongside expert consensus to inform the recommendations presented in the ACG, thereby enabling clinicians to better understand the underlying rationale and effectively implement these recommendations within their clinical practice when managing URTIs and considering antimicrobial therapy. The ACG can be found at https://go.gov.sg/acg-urti .
