Coagulase-negative staphylococci are the main causes of bacterial meningitis in duck.

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
Since September 2018, serious meningitis has been found on some breeding-duck farms in Shandong Province, China. A large number of ducks exhibit severe neurological symptoms. The ducks were randomly selected for laboratory testing. Duck brain samples were collected using standard sterile techniques, and the staphylococci isolates were detected in 404 (70.14%) out of 576 brain samples. A total of 525 coagulase-negative staphylococci (CoNS) strains were isolated, including 6 species: Staphylococcus sciuri (S. sciuri) (67.24%, 353/525), Staphylococcus epidermidis (S. epidermidis) (9.71%, 51/525), Staphylococcus saprophyticus (S. saprophyticus) (8.38%, 44/525), Staphylococcus lentus (S. lentus) (7.62%, 40/525), Staphylococcus haemolyticus (S. haemolyticus) (2.48%, 13/525), and Staphylococcus xylosus (S. xylosus) (4.57%, 24/525). Mixed strain infections were detected in 121 (29.95%) infected presentations. The antimicrobial susceptibility testing indicated that 40.38% of the isolates exhibited multi-drug resistance, and 53.90% of the strains were methicillin-resistant strains by amplification of the methicillin resistance gene (mecA) gene. Through experimental reproduction of the disease, we determined that the CoNS strains were the leading pathogens causing bacterial meningitis in ducks. Although these CoNS strains does not directly cause the death of sick ducks, they still cause large economic losses due to the retarded growth and development of the sick ducks, lower feed returns, and lower grades of processed duck products. The results of this study will contribute to our understanding of the epidemiology and pathogenesis of CoNS and be helpful in the prevention and treatment of the infection.
