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 resistance (AMR) is a significant public health threat. Understanding public knowledge and attitudes toward antibiotic usage is essential for educational campaigns combating AMR. This study evaluates public knowledge and awareness about antibiotics and AMR in Vietnam. Methods: A cross-sectional survey was conducted online in December 2021, featuring 20 questions on antibiotics, AMR, and participants' habits, attitudes, and potential solutions. The survey was distributed via social media platforms such as Facebook, Zalo, Viber, and WhatsApp. The target sample included Vietnamese working adults above 18 years old. Responses were coded and analyzed using SPSS version 21 and Microsoft Excel version 16.5. Participants were categorized into high, intermediate, and low knowledge levels based on their scores (>80%, 51-79%, and <50%). Results: A total of 866 Vietnamese adults participated. Most participants (90%) had moderate to high knowledge of antibiotics and AMR. However, only 32.8% knew that 75% of antibiotics are used in agriculture. Knowledge levels varied significantly across demographics such as gender, age, education, profession, and antibiotic use history. Healthcare-related professionals had significantly higher knowledge of antibiotics and AMR than nonhealthcare professionals ( Conclusions: Age, education, profession, and antibiotic use history positively influenced AMR knowledge. However, even among health-related fields, understanding was only moderate. This indicates a need for enhanced public education to improve knowledge and attitudes toward antibiotics and AMR.
