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
A standardized broth microdilution method was compared to the E test and an agar dilution method for the antimicrobial susceptibility testing of Campylobacter jejuni and C. coli isolates. A group of 47 human clinical isolates, 37 isolates from retail poultry, and 29 isolates from living turkeys (total, 113 isolates) was included in the study. These encompassed 92 C. jejuni and 21 C. coli strains. The MICs of six antimicrobial agents were determined by the broth microdilution and E test methods, and the strains of human origin were additionally tested by the agar dilution method. In general, broth microdilution MICs agreed within 1 log(2) MIC increment with 90.0% of E test results and 78.7% of agar dilution test results. The agar dilution method gave much lower gentamicin MICs than the broth microdilution method, but the data were significantly (P < 0.01) correlated and there was 100% agreement in the sensitivities and specificities in the comparison of the tests. The broth microdilution method had the highest sensitivity for analysis of the susceptibilities of Campylobacter to nalidixic acid and trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole. The MICs of ciprofloxacin and erythromycin complied numerically by all three methods. The classification of the results and the correlation of the data demonstrated a high degree of agreement. All methods were equally suitable for the testing of the sensitivity of Campylobacter to tetracycline. Thus, the broth microdilution method appears to be an easy and reliable method for determination of the MICs of antibiotics for C. jejuni and C. coli, and it may offer an interesting alternative to MIC determination by the agar dilution technique or the E test.
