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

BACKGROUNDAntimicrobial resistance is highly correlated with inappropriate antimicrobial use. Urinary tract infections (UTIs) are the main infections treated with antibiotics in the population ≥ 70 years.AIMWe aimed to investigate antibiotic prescribing patterns for UTIs treatment among older people in Denmark and resistance trends to assess impact of antibiotic stewardship interventions and quality improvement strategies.METHODSThis national register-based surveillance study included people ≥ 70 years in Danish primary healthcare and assessed consumption of pivmecillinam, trimethoprim, nitrofurantoin and sulfamethizole from 1999 to 2023 and resistance levels from 2018 to 2023. Consumption data were obtained from the Register of Medicinal Product Statistics and resistance data from the Danish Microbiology Database. A review of quality improvement strategies from 2005 to 2020 was conducted to provide context for the study.RESULTSThe highest level of antibiotic consumption for UTIs in older people was in 2014 (447 prescriptions/1,000 people ≥ 70 years) and gradually decreased by 28.4% in 2023. Resistance to pivmecillinam, trimethoprim, sulfamethizole and nitrofurantoin in
