Strengthening antimicrobial resistance surveillance across African military settings.
Article in International health, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
While antimicrobial resistance (AMR) surveillance within civilian health systems has progressed, military health systems remain under-represented in related research and policy frameworks. Military personnel, particularly during deployments, often operate in environments characterised by combat-related injuries, overcrowding and inadequate sanitation, which increase the risk of spread and emergence of drug-resistant infections. Despite these vulnerabilities, national AMR strategies in Africa largely prioritise civilian systems, with minimal integration of military health surveillance data or clinical insights from military medical facilities. As a result, AMR trends within military populations and conflict zones remain poorly documented. This paper examines the distinctive AMR challenges in African military settings and proposes strategies for incorporating military medical surveillance data into national AMR frameworks. Drawing on international models, such as the US Armed Forces Health Surveillance Division's Antimicrobial Resistance Monitoring and Research programme, it highlights the potential for military facilities to serve as sentinel sites for resistance monitoring. Integrating military medical surveillance data into national systems would enhance understanding of resistance patterns and support more inclusive and effective containment strategies, while strengthening antimicrobial stewardship within military health facilities to reduce inappropriate antimicrobial use.
