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
This study sought to investigate the actual status of awareness regarding the appropriate use of antimicrobial drugs among patients of a wide age range who visit dispensing pharmacies in order to explore more effective intervention methods for improving awareness of the appropriate use of antimicrobial drugs for patients. A questionnaire survey was conducted with 1301 patients who visited different Tsuruha Holdings-operated pharmacies between 1 September 2018 and 31 October 2018. Using multiple regression analysis, we calculated scores based on the patients' answers regarding their knowledge of antimicrobial drugs and antimicrobial resistance and examined factors related to these scores. Of the 1185 respondents who successfully completed the survey (mean age ± SD, 52.5 ± 18.2 years), 37.2% were 60 years old or older, 13.2% had never or were not sure whether they had taken antimicrobial drugs, and 73.2% did not understand the problem of antimicrobial resistance. Older age, the non-usage of drugs and self-reports of the "lack" of knowledge of antimicrobial resistance were identified as the group that needs education regarding the appropriate use of antimicrobial drugs. Intervention studies should be conducted to examine the efficacy of interventions based on these factors.
