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

Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) poses a significant global One Health challenge that causes increased mortality and a high financial burden. Animal production contributes to AMR, as more than half of antimicrobials are used in food-producing animals globally. There is a growing body of literature on AMR in food-producing animals in African countries, but the surveillance practices across countries vary considerably. This pilot study aims to explore the potential of wastewater and environmental surveillance (WES) of AMR and its extension to the veterinary field. Floor drainage swab (
