Influencing attitudes towards antimicrobial use and resistance in companion animals-the impact on pet owners of a short animation in a randomized controlled trial.

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
Objectives: Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a vital One Health issue; the rational use of antimicrobials is essential to preserve their efficacy. Veterinarians cite pressure from pet owners as a contributor to antimicrobial prescription. Engaging pet owners in antimicrobial stewardship could reduce this pressure. A short educational animation could facilitate communication of this message. The impact of the animation on participant's opinions relating to antimicrobial prescribing and awareness of AMR was assessed via a randomized controlled trial. Methods: A survey was created based on the health belief model. Owners attending six UK veterinary centres were randomized to the intervention or control group (ratio 1:1). All owners completed an agreement level survey of two questions followed by 18 statements scored using a Likert agreement scale. The control group responded without interruption, whereas the animation group was shown the animation after answering the first two questions and five statements. Results: In total, 647 owners participated in the study; 350 complete responses were analysed. Responses to 10 of 13 statements asked after the animation were significantly different (all Conclusions: Pet owners that watched a short AMR engagement animation displayed greater awareness of the impact of AMR and were more likely to support measures in line with antimicrobial stewardship. This behavioural-nudge resource could support owners towards contributing to a multi-faceted approach to AMR.
