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

Pork carcasses and meat may harbor Salmonella and may contaminate other products during harvest and fabrication. Sources of contamination include manure on hides, environmental contamination, ingredients from external sources, and lymph nodes. Swine lymph nodes are often incorporated into ground meat, as their anatomical location makes removal labor prohibitive. A sausage processing plant in the midwestern United States was sampled monthly (except for December) from May 2021 to April 2022 to enumerate Salmonella and Enterobacteriaceae (EB) throughout the sausage manufacturing process to determine high-risk stages and efficiency of existing in-plant interventions. Salmonella serotypes and antimicrobial susceptibility were evaluated on a subset of isolates recovered at the end phases of sausage production. In each collection, samples were taken from the carcasses of eight sows through 11 stages of sausage manufacturing. A total of 830 samples were cultured. Thirty-four Salmonella were isolated from the final three production stages; of these, there were eleven serotypes. Three isolates displayed resistance to ampicillin, whereas the remainder of the isolates were pan-susceptible to the antimicrobials tested. Salmonella and EB were significantly reduced (
