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 Aims: Poultry farming is a significant source of food worldwide; however, irrational antimicrobial use has contributed to antimicrobial resistance (AMR), posing a serious threat to humans, animals, and the environment. Despite this growing concern, the level of knowledge, attitudes, and practices (KAP) of poultry farm workers regarding antimicrobial use and resistance remains poorly understood in eastern Ethiopia. Therefore, this study aimed to assess poultry farm workers' KAP toward antimicrobial use and resistance, and to identify associated factors. Methods: An institution-based cross-sectional study was conducted among 414 randomly selected poultry farm workers from March 15 to April 27, 2025. Data were collected using a structured questionnaire through face-to-face interviews on ODK. Data were analyzed using STATA 14. Logistic regression analysis was carried out to examine the associations between dependent and independent variables. A Results: About 53.62%, 48.31%, and 52.17% of participants had good knowledge, positive attitudes, and good practices on antimicrobial use and resistance, respectively. Educational status was significantly associated with knowledge (AOR = 2.3), attitudes (AOR = 3.5), and practices (AOR = 3.1). Similarly, farming experience was associated with knowledge (AOR = 2.6), attitudes (AOR = 4.4), and practices (AOR = 2.3). Source of information (AOR = 12.6) was associated with knowledge only, whereas access to veterinary services (AOR = 3.9) was associated with practices only. Conclusion: This study revealed significant gaps in participants' KAP regarding antimicrobial use and resistance. Education level and farming experience were significantly associated with KAP. Information source influenced knowledge, whereas availability of veterinary services influenced practices. Therefore, it is crucial to enhance poultry farm workers' KAP through implementing regular training programs that focus on the responsible use of antimicrobials and also through improving access to poultry health information and services to minimize AMR challenges.
