Antimicrobial resistance interventions in Latin America and the Caribbean: a scoping review of reported interventions between 2018-2024.
Article in Antimicrobial resistance and infection control, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 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 (AMR) is a critical global health challenge, linked to 4·71 million deaths in 2021 and affecting human health, animals, food, plants, and the environment. This scoping review aims to map out published interventions addressing AMR in the Latin America and Caribbean (LAC) region.
methodsWe searched PubMed, Web of Science, LILACS, and grey literature for articles reporting the implementation of AMR programs, interventions, or policies aimed at tackling AMR published between January 2018 and December 2024.
resultsA total of 82 studies were included, comprising 64 peer-reviewed articles and 18 from grey literature. The majority (n = 75) focused on human health, while a smaller subset (n = 7) addressed animal health. Geographically, most studies were conducted in Brazil (n = 32) and Colombia (n = 22) with only one study in the Caribbean. Antimicrobial stewardship interventions were the primary focus in 50 studies. Only 53 out of 74 studies included an evaluation of the intervention.
conclusionSignificant gaps remain in AMR research in LAC, particularly in animal and environmental health. Rigorous intervention evaluations are needed to generate high-quality evidence for policy and practice. Increased funding for intervention and implementation research across all sectors is crucial to tackling AMR regionally and globally.
