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 resistance claimed an estimated 4.95 million lives in 2019. When clinicians prescribe empiric therapy that follows guidelines, mortality drops by roughly a third; when they de-escalate on the basis of culture results, it drops by more than half. Yet the document that should drive both decisions, the antibiogram, is often read superficially or misinterpreted, particularly by physicians without infectious-disease training. Existing stewardship frameworks address prescribing principles, timing, or ecological impact, but none walks the clinician step by step through an individual susceptibility report and out the other side with a treatment plan. PRECISE is a seven-step mnemonic designed for that purpose. Each letter corresponds to a clinical action: Pathogen assessment, Resistance phenotype interpretation, Evaluate MIC, Curtail spectrum, Individualize PK/PD, Switch route, and Endpoint optimization. Three clinical vignettes (including one in which the steps deliberately collide) illustrate how the framework operates in practice.
