1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

backgroundIn Cambodia, limited conceptual understanding of antimicrobials and the wide availability of over-the-counter medications increases antimicrobial resistance (AMR) threats. Community-based campaigns are critical to foster fundamental concepts of antimicrobials, their appropriate use and potential consequences of AMR.

methodsA circus-based drama on AMR was co-designed with a non-profit arts school and local youth groups, in coordination with two provincial health authorities.

resultsEvents held across three venues were attended by >1200 people and the accompanying social media campaign received >0.5 million views.

conclusionsFollowing the success of the campaign, the circus drama's key messages are being developed into educational materials for school children nationwide.
