Pediatric outpatient parenteral antibiotic therapy: an important option for pediatric hospitals in Germany.
Article in GMS hygiene and infection control, 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
Outpatient parenteral antibiotic therapy (OPAT) has been established for decades in children and adolescents with cystic fibrosis. Today, prolonged intravenous antibiotic treatment is less frequently required due to the increased use of oral sequential therapy with easily absorbable antibiotics. However, when it is needed in special situations, pediatric OPAT (pOPAT) can be a beneficial and safe alternative for various reasons (especially quality of life, limited inpatient resources, treatment costs). This article takes a critical look at the current status of OPAT in children and adolescents in Germany in order to foster the integration of pOPAT into the overall concept of pediatric infectiology.
