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

Climate change, population migration, and conflict have driven antimicrobial resistance (AMR) globally, and at a time when there remains a need for a reliable pipeline of affordable, accessible, and innovative antimicrobial agents that can be made available to all. In 2023, the World Health Organization (WHO) estimated that in 2019, bacterial AMR directly caused 1.27 million deaths and contributed to 4.95 million deaths worldwide. In 2024, the WHO published its list of bacterial priority pathogens and their associated antimicrobial resistance, grouped into medium, high, and critical categories. In 2025, the WHO identified more than 90 new antibacterial agents in preclinical studies or clinical development but highlighted the lack of innovative agents to treat or prevent current priority pathogens. On March 11, 2026, the WHO published three new Target Product Profiles (TPPs) for antibacterial agents to address AMR in bacteria that cause sepsis, urinary tract infections, pneumonia, and meningitis worldwide. This is a critical time for the world as climate change, population migration, and conflict have driven AMR. This editorial aims to present the 2026 WHO priority TPP recommendations in the context of a framework for research and development and investment to control what appears to be an inexorable rise in AMR in bacterial infections across all demographic regions, age groups, and healthcare settings.
