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

Introduction: Antibiotic heteroresistance challenges clinical treatment, risking adverse outcomes and antimicrobial resistance emergence. This study aims to explore its research status and trends. Methods: We screened global publications on antibiotic heteroresistance from the Web of Science Core Collection, Scopus and PubMed databases. Bibliometrix and VOSviewer were used to conduct the bibliometric and visual analysis of the publications. Results: In total, 1516 publications on antibiotic heteroresistance were included. The number of publications and citations increased with time, most notably in the last two decades. Among the 377 sources, the most active and most cited journal was Conclusion: Findings reveal global trends and research profiles of antibiotic heteroresistance. Useful for researchers, microbiologists, and clinicians to understand the field and guide future studies.
