1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

The objective of this study was to examine associations among the genetic determinants of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) in 207 fecal generic Escherichia coli isolates obtained from 77 cow-calf herds in western Canada. Twenty-three resistance genes corresponding to six different antimicrobial families were assessed using DNA hybridization and PCR. The most common resistance genes in the study sample (207 isolates) were sul2 (48.3%), tet(B) (45.4%), and ant(3'')-Ia (aadA1) (19.3%). Several statistically significant associations between the examined resistance genes were detected. The strongest associations observed were those between genes for resistance to chloramphenicol (catI) and trimethoprim (dhfrI) (odds ratio [OR] = 214; P = 0.0001), sulfonamide (sul1) and chloramphenicol (catI) (OR = 96.9; P = 0.0001), streptomycin [ant(3'')-Ia (aadA1)] and trimethoprim (dhfrI) (OR = 96.2; P = 0.0001), sulfonamide (sul1) and streptomycin [ant(3'')-Ia (aadA1)] (OR = 79.3; P = 0.0001), and tetracycline [tet(B)] and sulfonamides (sul2) (OR = 25.7; P = 0.0001). At least one of the resistance genes corresponding to each nonaminoglycoside family of antimicrobials examined in this study was associated with the two aminoglycoside resistance genes ant(3'')-Ia (aadA1) and aph(3')-Ia. The multiple, strong associations between genes and the diverse nature of the associations described in this study demonstrate the complexity of resistance gene selection in cow-calf herds and should be considered in the planning of AMR control practices for cow-calf operations.
