Practices and Perspectives of Lead Implementers on Implementation of Antimicrobial Resistance Strategic Plan: A Cross-Sectional Descriptive Study in Ethiopia.
Article in Tropical medicine & international health : TM & IH, 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
backgroundAddressing the escalating threats of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) through developing and implementing context-specific strategy remains a worldwide priority response. However, its adoption and implementation have often been fragmented in low-resource settings and are currently under-researched. This study evaluates the multi-stakeholder perspectives, practices and operational challenges encountered across Ethiopian national lead implementers of the AMR strategic plan in combating AMR.
methodThis cross-sectional, descriptive study recruited seven AMR stakeholders, recognised as lead implementers of the national AMR strategic plan across human, animal and environmental health sectors in Ethiopia. Data were gathered via face-to-face, semi-structured interviews and document review. Then the collected data were transcribed verbatim and thematically analysed.
resultsThe findings reveal the adoption and commencement of implementing the Ethiopian national AMR strategic plan at varying levels across One Health sectors in Ethiopia. While all key informants had positive perspectives towards implementation and were familiar with the strategic objectives, the practices were inconsistent. Among the five strategic objectives, sub-indicators associated with raising awareness, strengthening infection and prevention control practices and optimising antimicrobial use were better implemented with moderate to full engagement of lead implementers (≥ 75%). Meanwhile, no stakeholder initiated new vaccines and drug substances development and environmental risk assessment for antimicrobials yet. The cross-cutting barriers such as weak and fragmented inter-sectoral collaboration, inconsistent follow-up and scarcity of human and financial resources remained hampering effective implementation.
conclusionFindings demonstrated that despite the existence of an AMR tackling strategy and initiatives, implementation and enforcement remain below the level required by the urgency of the AMR situation. It underscores the importance of bridging implementation gaps by prioritising AMR, strengthening equivalent engagement and collaborations, and capacity building.
