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

This study focuses on the prevalence of Listeria monocytogenes (Lm) in pork meat and on inert surfaces from slaughterhouses in Sonora, Mexico. A total of 21 Lm were obtained from 103 samples, giving a prevalence of 20.3%. The prevalence of Lm in pork loin was 15.9% and 20.8% for inert surfaces in Federal Inspection Type (FIT) slaughterhouses. For non-FIT slaughterhouses, the prevalence was 25.7%. PCR amplification of genomic DNA from the Lm isolates revealed the presence of the hlyA gene, suggesting a pathogenic nature for these isolates. The isolates obtained in this work all clustered with Lm, according to our phylogenetic analysis based on the 16S rDNA sequence. This Lm cluster indicates that Lm isolates 7-2, 4, 2-1, 10B, 8, 3, 3-3, and 9 share 16S rRNA identity with other Lm isolates that have been reported as foodborne pathogens (rR2-502, J1817, J1816, J1926) and that are involved in foodborne outbreaks. The most commonly detected serotypes were 1/2a and 1/2b. All isolates displayed differential responses to the assayed antibiotics, and most isolates were able to grow in the presence of penicillin G, or both penicillin and penicillin-derived (oxacillin) antibiotics.
