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

Background and Aim: Antimicrobials are extensively used in poultry production for growth promotion as well as for the treatment and control of diseases, including avian pathogenic Materials and Methods: A total of 487 APEC were isolated from 539 across 300 poultry farms in various regions of Nepal. Antimicrobial susceptibility patterns was determined using the Kirby-Bauer disk diffusion and broth microdilution methods. The index of AMR, such as multiple antibiotic resistance (MAR) index, resistance score (R-score), and multidrug resistance (MDR) profile, were determined. Polymerase chain reaction was employed to detect multiple ARGs and correlations between phenotypic and genotypic resistance were analyzed. Results: The prevalence of APEC was 91% (487/539). All of these isolates were found resistant to at least one antimicrobial agent, and 41.7% of the isolates were resistant against 8-9 different antimicrobials. The antibiogram of APEC isolates overall showed the highest resistance against ampicillin (99.4%), whereas the highest intermediate resistance was observed in enrofloxacin (92%). The MAR index and R-score showed significant differences between broiler and layers, as well as between broiler breeder and layers. The number of isolates that were resistant to at least one agent in three or more antimicrobial categories tested was 446 (91.6%) and were classified as MDR-positive isolates. The ARGs were identified in 439 (90.1%) APEC isolates, including the most detected mobilized colistin resistanc Conclusion: In this study, the current state of APEC AMR in commercial chickens is revealed for the first time in Nepal. We deciphered the complex nature of AMR in APEC populations. This information of molecular surveillance is useful to combat AMR in APEC and to contribute to manage APEC associated diseases and develop policies and guidelines to enhance the commercial chicken production.
