Tackling antibiotic resistance-insights from eHealthResp's educational interventions.
Article in NPJ primary care respiratory medicine, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Antibiotic resistance (AR) poses a significant challenging issue in public health worldwide. This phenomenon led to the emergence of antibiotic-resistant bacterial strains, making the treatment of respiratory infections increasingly difficult. Educational interventions targeting healthcare professionals are important to improve prescription practices and promote responsible antibiotic use. Digital tools, including clinical decision support systems and mobile applications, have proven to effectively enhance educational interventions and clinical decision-making. The eHealthResp project is one such initiative that includes an online course and a mobile app designed to improve antibiotic use for upper respiratory tract infections (URTIs). The online course provides clinical information and case studies, whereas the mobile app acts as a clinical decision support system for URTIs diagnosis. The purpose of this study is to analyse the utilization patterns of eHealthResp digital tools among primary care physicians and community pharmacists. Results showed that both physicians and pharmacists (n = 35) had favorable progress and high grades when completing the online course assessment. The mobile app data indicated a diverse range of searched cases with different respiratory symptoms, with the most common being acute nasal discharge and pain when swallowing. Most observations presented mild symptoms for less than seven days, suggesting the occurrence of acute self-limited infections. Despite limitations, digital tools show promise in enhancing patient care outcomes for managing URTIs. Future efforts should focus on expanding participation among health professionals and enhancing educational interventions to promote responsible antibiotic use.
