Antibiotic Prescribing Among Inpatients with Ophthalmic Diagnoses: A Decade of Evidence from Two Private-Sector Indian Hospitals.
Article in Antibiotics (Basel, Switzerland), 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
objectivesTo describe and compare decadal antibiotic prescribing patterns and trends by diagnosis groups among ophthalmology inpatients at two private-sector hospitals in Central India.
methodsThis observational surveillance study was conducted prospectively for a decade in the ophthalmology inpatient departments of a teaching hospital (TH) and a non-teaching hospital (NTH). Patient-level data on demographics, diagnoses, and antibiotic prescriptions were collected by nurses using a standardised form. Antibiotic utilisation was analysed using WHO's Anatomical Therapeutic Chemical (ATC) codes and Defined Daily Doses (DDDs), as well as AWaRe groups (
resultsOf 7561 patients (TH: 7305; NTH: 256), antibiotics were prescribed to almost all inpatients (TH: 99%; NTH: 90%). Fluoroquinolones were the most prescribed (TH: 94%; NTH: 71%), predominantly by the oral route (73%).
