Exploring the coverage of antimicrobial stewardship across UK clinical postgraduate training curricula.

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
objectivesAntimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a global political and patient safety issue. With ongoing strategic interventions to improve the shape of UK postgraduate clinical training, ensuring that all clinicians have appropriate knowledge and practical skills in the area of AMR is essential. To assess this, a cross-sectional analysis was undertaken of the coverage and quality of antimicrobial stewardship (AMS)/AMR within UK postgraduate clinical training curricula.
methodsUK clinical specialty training curricula were identified. Topics and individual learning points relating to AMS or AMR were extracted for each specialty. Learning points were quality assessed against the expected level of clinical competence. Inter-specialty analysis was performed.
resultsOverall 37 specialties were assessed, equating to 2318 topics and 42 527 learning points. Of these, 8/2318 (0.3%) topics and 184/42 527 (0.4%) learning points were related to AMS/AMR. Infectious diseases represented all eight topics and 43/184 (23%) of the learning points. In contrast, primary care, which is responsible for the highest proportion of antimicrobial usage, had no topics and only 2/1368 (0.15%) of the AMS/AMR learning points. This paucity of representation was reflected across most of the remaining specialties. On quality assessment, the majority of learning points (111/184; 60%) required knowledge only, with no demonstration of behaviour in clinical practice required.
conclusionsCoverage of AMS/AMR is poor across the majority of UK postgraduate clinical training curricula, with little depth of learning required. Given the threat of AMR, and evolving changes in clinical training pathways, we call for cross-specialty action to address this current lack of engagement.
