Misconceptions and Behavioral Risks in Parental Antibiotic Use on Romanian Children: A Cross-Sectional Study on Knowledge, Attitudes, and Practices.
Article in Antibiotics (Basel, Switzerland), 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
backgroundAntimicrobial resistance is a growing global health threat, with antibiotic misuse in pediatric populations being a significant contributing factor. In Romania, antibiotic consumption and resistance rates are among the highest in Europe.
objectiveTo assess Romanian parents' knowledge, attitudes, and practices regarding antibiotic use in children, and to identify key misconceptions and behavioral risks contributing to inappropriate antibiotic use.
methodsA cross-sectional survey was conducted among 400 parents of hospitalized children in a pediatric department in Romania. Participants completed a 15 item structured questionnaire. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, chi-square tests, and binary logistic regression to examine associations and control for potential confounding effects between education level, residential environment, and parental misconceptions regarding antibiotic use.
resultsAmong the 400 surveyed caregivers, 86% (
conclusionsDespite high adherence to medical advice, widespread misconceptions persist. These findings highlight the need for targeted, population-specific educational interventions to promote rational antibiotic use and address AMR in high-burden settings like Romania.
