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

Antibiotic prescribing requires balancing optimal treatment for patients with reducing antimicrobial resistance. There is a lack of standardization in research on using large language models (LLMs) for supporting antibiotic prescribing, necessitating more efforts to identify biases and misinformation in their outputs. Educating future medical professionals on these aspects is crucial for ensuring the proper use of LLMs for supporting antibiotic prescribing, providing a deeper understanding of their strengths and limitations.
