The new Flemings now sing: a methodological evaluation of gamification and citizen science strategies to raise awareness on antimicrobial resistance.

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
Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) represents one of the greatest global health threats of the 21st century, yet public understanding of this silent pandemic remains limited. This study presents the design, implementation and evaluation of the SWICEU project, developed at CEU Cardenal Herrera University (Spain), which integrates citizen science, gamification and creative communication strategies to raise awareness of AMR and promote scientific vocations and the responsible use of antibiotics among young people and the general population. Over eight editions (2017-2025), 287 university students and 853 pre-university students aged between 14 and 16 participated in activities combining experimental microbiology with creative formats such as storytelling, music, board games and digital campaigns to promote becoming the Flemings of the future and raise awareness of AMR. The project's impact was assessed through pre- and post-surveys, satisfaction measures and analytics from media and social platforms including YouTube, X and Instagram. Results showed significant knowledge gains among participants (from 68.8% to 80.9% correct responses, P < 0.05), high satisfaction ratings (4.86-5/5) and wide public engagement, reaching more than 3.5 million people through media coverage and over 819 000 impressions on social media. These findings demonstrate that combining citizen participation, gamified learning and creative media strategies can make complex microbiological concepts both accessible and engaging. The SWICEU model provides a transferable framework for enhancing science communication and health literacy, not only in AMR education but also across other public health areas requiring societal awareness and behavior change.
