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
Prevalence and distribution of Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli (STEC) serogroups from the faecal samples of cattle and camels slaughter in Maiduguri abattoir and their antibiotic resistance profile of the isolates were determined. The highest prevalence (24%) was recorded in the month of September and more STEC isolates came from cattle than the camels. There was significant (P < 0.05) seasonal trend in the prevalence of STEC among cattle and camel with more cases recorded during the wet season. Although, the study did not demonstrate significant influence of sex from the various sources. The serogroups recorded in this study were O157, O26, O91, O103 and O111. There was no significant difference (P < 0.05) between the detection rates of serogroups. The serogroup O26 was significantly (P < 0.05) the most observed serogroup in both camels and cattle. None of the STEC isolates tested positive for the O45 serogroup. PCR assays shows that 50 (63.3%) of the 86 STEC isolates carried the stx2 gene, 34 (43%) possessed the stx1 gene, and 14 (16.3%) carried both stx1 and stx2 genes. Other genes detected include eae and ehlyA. The antimicrobial resistance among the STEC O157 and non-O157 isolates from cattle and camels in Maiduguri abattoir were very high and the STEC isolates were resistant to at least one or more of the antimicrobial agents tested. There was also multidrug resistance with the most frequent occurring patterns been ampicillin/nalidixic acid and tetracycline/trimethoprim. However, all the 79 isolates were sensitive to chloramphenicol, ceftazidime and ceftriaxone; therefore, these drugs could be drugs of choice in the treatment of STEC infections.
