Bakterion: development of a serious game for microbiology education.
Article in Brazilian journal of medical and biological research = Revista brasileira de pesquisas medicas e biologicas, 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
Microbiology education is traditionally lecture-based, with few studies exploring active methodologies such as serious games. In this context, this study aimed to develop a serious card game, 'Bakterion', as a teaching tool for antimicrobial education. The game was designed based on Game Design Thinking, following the stages of Empathy, Ideation, and Implementation. Inspired by the game Munchkin®, Bakterion includes a rulebook, markers, and 200 cards featuring illustrations based on electron microscopy and laboratory materials. The cards were designed to be easy to use, allowing players to correlate elements even without prior specialized knowledge. The game presents an innovative approach to microbiology education, fostering student engagement and active participation. Bakterion may serve as a promising tool for teaching microbiology and antimicrobial resistance, complementing traditional methods. Future studies should assess the impact of Bakterion on student learning.
