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

Escherichia coli is a zoonotic bacterium, and its resistance to antimicrobials has become an increasing problem in global health. This study aimed to determine the phenotypic and genotypic pooled prevalence of E. coli with antimicrobial resistance profiles in poultry through systematic review and meta-analysis. Articles available in scientific databases from years 2017 to 2024 were evaluated. Overall, 18 studies were included in the meta-analysis and prevalence of E. coli resistance in poultry. Estimated by the random effects model, the pooled prevalence of resistance to at least one antibiotic in E. coli isolated from poultry samples was 76.96% (95% CI = 48.74-92.15%), and multidrug-resistant isolates of 89.44% (95% CI = 75.51-95.88%). The highest prevalence was to nalidixic acid (86.67%; 95% CI = 59.32-96.67%), followed by isolates resistant to tetracycline (79.33%; 95% CI = 62.86-89.69%). Tetracycline resistance genes had the highest prevalence, with 29.78% of isolates (498/1076) positive for at least one of the three genes (tetA, tetB and/or tetC). The levels of phenotypic and genotypic prevalence of E. coli in poultry can provide a scientific basis for the control of antibiotic-resistant strains and contribute to the competent authorities to guide the management interventions that best suit the different geographical regions.
