Knowledge and attitudes towards antibiotic use and resistance among undergraduate healthcare students at University of Rwanda.
Article in Journal of pharmaceutical policy and practice, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 36 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
backgroundAntimicrobial resistance (AMR) is an imminent threat to modern medicine. As the efficacy of treatment regimens is reduced, mortality and morbidity attributed to infectious diseases is expected to rise dramatically across the globe. Antimicrobial stewardship and good prescription practices are critical to conserving available therapeutics; it is appropriate, therefore, to appraise our attitudes and knowledge of antimicrobial resistance, particularly for the future healthcare practitioners.
methodsThis is a descriptive cross-sectional study that was conducted among 282 medicals, dental and pharmacy students from the University of Rwanda. Questionnaires were used to collect data from the 4th to 29th March 2017.
resultsStudents from Level 3 to level 6 have demonstrated a good knowledge on antibiotics and antimicrobial resistance. Generally, 95% (
conclusionsThe present study reports a moderate knowledge on AMR among the healthcare students. The gaps in the current formal training of healthcare individuals have been identified as well. We highlight the necessity to enhance educational approaches to introduce the key concepts of AMR and antimicrobial stewardship to the curriculum of healthcare students.
