Understanding gender inequities in antimicrobial resistance: role of biology, behaviour and gender norms.
Review in BMJ global health, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 19 papers.
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
Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) poses a critical public health threat, with gendered implications that are often overlooked. Key drivers of bacterial AMR include the misuse of antibiotics, inadequate water, sanitation and hygiene infrastructure and poor infection control practices. Persistent gender discrimination exacerbates these issues, resulting in disparities in healthcare access and outcomes. This review explores how biological, sociocultural and behavioural factors contribute to the differential incidence of AMR in women. We present a conceptual framework to understand how gender norms influence antibiotic use and AMR. Differences in infection susceptibility, health-seeking behaviours, the ability to access and afford essential antibiotics and quality healthcare and appropriate diagnosis and management by healthcare providers across genders highlight the necessity for gender-sensitive approaches. Addressing gender dynamics within the health workforce and fostering inclusive policies is crucial for effectively mitigating AMR. Integrating intersectional and life course approaches into AMR mitigation strategies is essential to manage the changing health needs of women and other vulnerable groups.
