Antibiotic Management Following Urine and Blood Culture Results: A Retrospective Single-Centre Observational Study at University Hospital Hairmyres, United Kingdom.
Article in Cureus, 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
Background Timely review and actioning of microbiological culture results are essential for effective antimicrobial stewardship. Delays in modifying therapy when cultures demonstrate resistance may result in prolonged exposure to ineffective antimicrobials and suboptimal management. This study aimed to evaluate the timeliness and appropriateness of antibiotic initiation and modification following positive urine and blood culture results in a district general hospital and to compare management between these two specimen types. Methods A retrospective observational study was conducted at University Hospital Hairmyres, United Kingdom, analysing 100 positive urine cultures and 25 positive blood cultures collected between the 4th and 17th December 2023.
