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 (AMR) remains a major public health threat in Italy, where high incidence and mortality persist. In this study we aimed to describe national and regional trends in AMR rates from 2015 to 2024.

methodsWe conducted an ecological time-series analysis using publicly available data from the Italian AMR surveillance system (AR-ISS). We included six priority pathogens: methicillin-resistant

resultsResistance declined over time for four of six pathogens, but increased markedly for VRE-

conclusionsDespite progress for several pathogens, AMR remains a critical challenge in Italy. The persistent increase in VRE-
