Parental awareness and management of antibiotic side effects and allergies in children and young people: a UK survey.
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: Antibiotic use in children and young people is common, however, the associated short- and long-term effects are often unknown. Inappropriate prescribing and misdiagnosed allergies contribute to antimicrobial resistance (AMR) and poorer health outcomes. To explore parental awareness, experiences and management of antibiotic side effects and allergies in children and young people, to inform strategies for improved antimicrobial stewardship and communication. Materials and methods: An online survey was conducted in April 2024 with 1205 UK parents of children aged 16 years or under. The survey assessed experiences of side effects, knowledge of antibiotic risks, and allergy management. Descriptive statistics and chi-squared tests were used to analyse responses, with weighting applied to ensure representativeness of the UK population. Results: Among respondents, 64% ( Conclusions: Improved communication can facilitate appropriate recognition, assessment and management of antibiotic adverse reactions in children and young people, potentially reducing incorrect penicillin allergy labelling.
