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

Background: Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a major global public health threat. ESKAPE pathogens Aim: This systematic review synthesised global genomic evidence to identify global and region-specific ARGs distribution among ESKAPE pathogens. Methods: Following PRISMA guidelines, studies published January 2019 to December 2024 were identified from PubMed, Google Scholar, and Web of Science. Eligible studies reported genomic characteristics and resistance patterns of one or more ESKAPE pathogens from any source. Results: Seventy-seven studies were included, with most originating from Asia, followed by Europe and Africa. Clinical isolates predominated Conclusion: This review provides a synthesised global map of ARG distribution in ESKAPE pathogens, highlighting surveillance gaps in underrepresented regions and non-clinical settings. Addressing these gaps will support targeted genomic surveillance and stewardship programmes. What this study adds: This study contributes to the body of knowledge by mapping global and regional antimicrobial resistance gene patterns in ESKAPE pathogens, identifying key surveillance gaps and informing targeted AMR monitoring and stewardship strategies.
