Comparison of General Use of Antibiotics between Medical and Nonmedical University Students of Lahore.
Observational study in BioMed research international, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Objective: To compare the knowledge of antibiotic resistance between medical and nonmedical university students of Lahore. Results: 52.9% medical and 42.25% nonmedical students knew about antibiotics. 24.1% medical and 18.3% nonmedical students do not take antibiotics without a prescription. 40.6% medical and only 19.3% nonmedical students knew about the course of antibiotics. Medical students let the minor ailments recover naturally compared to nonmedical students who visit the doctor more often. Both groups complete the course of antibiotics without a significant difference. 49% medical and 27.9% nonmedical students knew that bacteria can develop resistance against antibiotics. Most nonmedical students responded that antibiotics can work even after resistance. Medical students have better knowledge about the relationship of resistance with overuse and misuse. Conclusion: The knowledge of antibiotics and compliance to therapy of the nonmedical students were less than those of the medical students. Medical students were aware of the pattern of taking antibiotics because of their educational background. There is a dire need for awareness regarding antibiotic use in this group to conserve treatment options for future use.
