Article in Health science reports, 2025. 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 and Aim: Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a pressing global issue caused and aggravated by the injudicious use of antimicrobials. The WHO has developed an Access, Watch, and Reserve (AWaRe) system to categorize antimicrobials to promote responsible use and combat resistance. The aim of the study was to assess healthcare professionals' knowledge and application of AWaRe principles in a tertiary care hospital, focusing on their relevance to AMR. Methods: A comparative cross-sectional survey was performed among a total of 166 registered healthcare professionals in a tertiary care hospital using a pre-validated questionnaire. The socio-demographic characteristics of participants were presented as frequencies and proportions. Group differences were tested by the chi-square test ( Results: The medical professionals showed a higher level of good understanding (59.81%) and practice (60.75%). The medical professionals (OR = 0.137, 95% CI: = 0.137-0.539, Conclusions: The study highlighted significant differences in understanding and practices related to AMR among the three professional groups. Medical professionals demonstrated the highest levels of understanding and adherence, followed by pharmacy and nursing professionals. Targeted educational programs could address existing knowledge gaps and strengthen antimicrobial stewardship efforts in resource-limited settings like Nepal.
