Microlearning Reduces Unnecessary Antibiotic Provision for Open Hand Injuries.
Article in Cureus, 2024. 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
Background Antimicrobial stewardship approaches are important in managing the growing global challenge of antibiotic resistance. Microlearning describes educational interventions involving small, digestible chunks of information focussed on a single learning objective. Aim This quality improvement project aimed to improve the compliance of antibiotic administration for open hand injury referrals with national and local guidelines using a microlearning educational intervention. Method Antibiotic administration for open hand injury referrals was audited at baseline, following the creation and dissemination of an infographic displaying the indications for antibiotics, and again after the creation and dissemination of a short video providing the same information. Result The proportion of referrals with no indication for antibiotics that were given or recommended antimicrobials fell from 50.0% (22/44) to 14.3% (5/35) after dissemination of the infographic and short video. Conclusion Microlearning educational interventions are effective at improving compliance with clinical guidelines in this context.
