Confidence in antimicrobial stewardship and infection prevention among French medical residents: a national cross-sectional 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: Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) represents a major global public health threat. Infection prevention and control (IPC) and antimicrobial stewardship are key pillars to limit AMR, yet little is known about medical residents' perceived preparedness in these areas. The aim of this study was to assess French medical and surgical residents' self-reported level of confidence (LOC) regarding IPC and appropriate use of antibiotics (AUA) and to explore factors associated with confidence levels. Methods: We conducted a national cross-sectional self-administered survey among French residents involved in antibiotic prescribing. Confidence levels were assessed using a 0-10 numeric scale across predefined IPC- and AUA-related clinical situations. Demographic characteristics, training setting, exposure to IPC and AUA training modules and awareness of the national AMR strategy were collected. Non-parametric statistical analyses were performed. Results: A total of 151 residents were included. Overall, confidence ratings were significantly higher for AUA-related situations than for IPC-related situations ( Conclusions: French residents report heterogeneous confidence profiles, with lower perceived confidence in IPC than in antibiotic-related decision-making. These findings support the need for earlier, multidisciplinary and practice-oriented training programmes integrating IPC and antimicrobial stewardship throughout residency.
