Bundled management improves clinical outcome and reduces healthcare cost in multidrug-resistant bacterial infections: a retrospective study.
Article in American journal of translational research, 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
objectiveTo evaluate the effectiveness of a bundled management intervention for infection prevention, antibiotic use optimization, and clinical and economic outcomes for patients with multidrug-resistant bacterial infections.
methodsThis retrospective study included 130 patients with multidrug-resistant bacterial infections. Data on knowledge awareness, hand hygiene compliance, infection incidence, clinical outcomes, antibiotic use, hospital stay, and costs were collected through questionnaires, observations, and medical records to evaluate the intervention's effectiveness.
resultsThe bundled management intervention significantly improved knowledge awareness, hand hygiene compliance, and adherence to infection control practices among patients, caregivers, and healthcare staff. It reduced MDR infection rates (3.07% vs. 15.38%), mortality (3.08% vs. 12.31%), and antibiotic overuse while lowering hospital costs and treatment duration compared to standard care (P < 0.05).
conclusionThe bundled management approach effectively enhanced infection prevention, optimized antibiotic use, improved clinical outcomes, and reduced healthcare costs, offering a robust strategy for managing MDR bacterial infections.
