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

backgroundZoonotic food-borne pathogens such as Salmonella spp., which can be hosted by some raw foods, play a crucial role in ranking the public health of a country

objectivesThe present study was conducted to assess the frequency, antibiotic resistance pattern and index of multiple antibiotic resistance (MAR) of Salmonella spp. in chicken meat

methodsA cross-sectional survey was conducted from October 2017 to March 2018. One-hundred and fifty chicken meat samples were collected from meat stores in Zahedan, southeast of Iran and screened for contamination with Salmonella spp. using the polymerase chain reaction assay targeting the inv-A gene. Antimicrobial susceptibility testing was performed against 11 commonly prescribed antimicrobial agents in the veterinary treatment to calculate the MAR index

resultsThe contamination rate was 2.7% (4/150). The antimicrobial resistance rate was 100% (n = 4) against penicillin, tylosin, tetracycline, erythromycin and tiamulin, 50% (n = 2) against trimethoprim/sulfamethoxazole, difloxacin and lincomycin/spectinomycin and 25% (n = 1) against flumequine and florfenicol. All isolates were sensitive to fosfomycin. Interestingly, all isolates (n = 4) exhibited different MAR patterns. Furthermore, the MAR index ranged from 0.45 to 0.81

conclusionsIn addition to the MAR index, which indicated that the isolate originated from a source where antibiotics were used to a great degree and/or in large amounts, the results showed that the chicken meat hosted resistant strains of Salmonella spp. in the study area. Overall, the findings indicated an important public health problem. To reduce this alarming signal, the poultry industry should implement control measures in the study area.
