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 aim: Bacterial antibiotic resistance (BAR) has become one of the most urgent public health threats globally, primarily driven by antibiotic misuse, self-medication, and inadequate community awareness. Teachers, as influential figures in promoting health literacy, can play a critical role in fostering responsible antibiotic use. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of a health education program on teachers' knowledge and attitude regarding bacterial antibiotic resistance among high school teachers in Koya District, Iraq. Method: This quasi-experimental study was conducted from September 1st, 2024, to July 1st, 2025, among 106 high school teachers selected through convenience sampling and randomly divided into two groups: intervention ( Results: The findings revealed that the health education program significantly improved both knowledge and attitude scores among teachers in the intervention group ( Conclusion: The educational intervention effectively enhanced teachers' knowledge and attitudes toward bacterial antibiotic resistance. Integrating structured antibiotic resistance education into school-based training programs can empower teachers to act as community advocates for rational antibiotic use and resistance prevention. Sustained implementation of such programs, combined with periodic refresher sessions, can further reinforce long-term behavioral change and promote a culture of responsible antibiotic use within educational and community settings.
