Antimicrobial redistribution: health practitioner One health perspectives on antimicrobial use in livestock for antimicrobial resistance education in Zimbabwe.
Article in JAC-antimicrobial resistance, 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 and objectives: Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a growing challenge to global health, encompassing human, animal and environmental health. In Zimbabwe, AMR is driven by antimicrobial misuse, weak infection control and poor regulation of antimicrobial use in agriculture. While policy has identified education as key in addressing AMR, there are gaps in AMR education frameworks. This paper explores Zimbabwean health practitioners' understandings of the interconnections between human, animal and environmental health practices and how these understandings can strengthen AMR education frameworks to address antimicrobial misuse. Methods: Operationalizing participatory workshops at two hospitals in Harare, the paper qualitatively analyses discussions from 25 doctors, nurses and pharmacists on the interconnections between human, animal and environmental health in AMR development and challenges of AMR educational practice. Results: The paper identifies how health practitioners perceive recurring antimicrobial redistribution pathways from patients to (i) livestock for disease prevention and growth, (ii) family and community through informal sharing and (iii) local environment through unintentional contamination. Economic pressures, lack of knowledge and awareness and weak regulatory enforcement are perceived as drivers of antimicrobial redistribution, emphasizing the importance of AMR education to engage with both behavioural and systemic drivers as part of a One health framework. Conclusions: The paper contributes to AMR research by mapping perceived drivers of antimicrobial redistribution, highlighting how One health approaches can be integrated into AMR education frameworks. A cross-sectoral educational approach is proposed for engaging health practitioners, veterinarians, farmers, communities and policymakers in antimicrobial stewardship and behavioural change for more sustainable use of antimicrobials.
