Advancing Social Impact in the Fight Against Antimicrobial Resistance: Lessons from the Infection Diagnosis Workshop.
Article in Antibiotics (Basel, Switzerland), 2026. 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/
objectivesAntimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a major global health threat that reduces antibiotic effectiveness and increases healthcare burdens. Countries in the Asia-Pacific region face a particularly high AMR burden, necessitating international collaboration, education, and practical training to combat this growing crisis. This study describes the design, implementation, and educational outcomes of the Infection Diagnosis Workshop, a short-term international program primarily targeting undergraduate medical sciences students that integrates AMR-focused hands-on clinical microbiology training and lectures, alongside cross-cultural collaboration and scientific English communication.
methodsThe Infection Diagnosis Workshop was implemented as a four-day program combining lectures with hands-on laboratory activities. Training emphasizes the detection and analysis of antibiotic-resistant bacteria through environmental sampling, bacterial culturing, phenotypic and genotypic resistance detection, and species identification, core components that have remained consistent since the workshop's establishment. Students also attended lectures on AMR science, global impact, and management strategies. Group discussions and collaborative tasks encouraged interdisciplinary learning. A thematic analysis of student feedback essays from previous workshop cohorts was conducted to identify key concepts, learning outcomes, and shared experiences. All participants provided informed consent for the use of their written feedback.
resultsThematic analysis revealed key learning outcomes categorized into three themes: (1) Knowledge, Awareness, and Technical Skills; (2) Cultural Understanding and Cross-Cultural Collaboration; and (3) English Language and Communication Skills. Students reported increased AMR knowledge, improved laboratory proficiency, enhanced cultural adaptability, and greater confidence in English communication. They also expressed a deeper appreciation for interdisciplinary and international approaches to AMR.
conclusionsThe Infection Diagnosis Workshop effectively integrated practical laboratory training with international and cross-cultural engagement. The program strengthened student competencies and contributed to building global partnerships essential for combating AMR.
