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

abstractLittle is known about the prevalence of antimicrobial-resistant (AMR) bacteria in veal meat in the United States. We estimated the prevalence of bacterial contamination and AMR in various veal meats collected during the 2018 U.S. National Antimicrobial Resistance Monitoring System (NARMS) survey of retail outlets in nine states and compared the prevalence with the frequency of AMR bacteria from other cattle sources sampled for NARMS. In addition, we identified genes associated with resistance to medically important antimicrobials and gleaned other genetic details about the resistant organisms. The prevalence of Campylobacter, Salmonella, Escherichia coli, and Enterococcus in veal meats collected from grocery stores in nine states was 0% (0 of 358), 0.6% (2 of 358), 21.1% (49 of 232), and 53.5% (121 of 226), respectively, with ground veal posing the highest risk for contamination. Both Salmonella isolates were resistant to at least one antimicrobial agent as were 65.3% (32 of 49) of E. coli and 73.6% (89 of 121) of Enterococcus isolates. Individual drug and multiple drug resistance levels were significantly higher (P < 0.05) in E. coli and Enterococcus from retail veal than in dairy cattle ceca and retail ground beef samples from 2018 NARMS data. Whole genome sequencing was conducted on select E. coli and Salmonella from veal. Cephalosporin resistance (blaCMY and blaCTX-M), macrolide resistance (mph), and plasmid-mediated quinolone resistance (qnr) genes and gyrA mutations were found. We also identified heavy metal resistance genes ter, ars, mer, fieF, and gol and disinfectant resistance genes qac and emrE. An stx1a-containing E. coli was also found. Sequence types were highly varied among the nine E. coli isolates that were sequenced. Several plasmid types were identified in E. coli and Salmonella, with the majority (9 of 11) of isolates containing IncF. This study illustrates that veal meat is a carrier of AMR bacteria.
