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
Various classes of antibiotics are used to treat guinea fowl diseases in rural Togo. The aim of this study was to assess antibiotic treatment practices and detect the presence of antibiotic residues in eggs from guinea fowl farms in the Savannah region of Togo. The study involved direct interviews using a questionnaire administered to 87 farmers in the Oti, Tone and Tandjoare prefectures, using the Kobocollect tool. Qualitative analysis of the presence of antibiotic residues in guinea fowl eggs was carried out using the Premi®Test collected from farmers. Data were presented as relative frequencies using Excel software and logistic regression analysis and Chi-square test were performed to ascertain positive associations. The minority of farmers (1.15 %) were under the care of a veterinarian, while 87.36 % practiced self-medication and did not respect the prescribed doses of antibiotics, and 11.49 % had no supervision. All the farmers surveyed use plants for therapeutic purposes, without any real knowledge of the correct dosage. Additionally, 56.66 % of farmers did not respect the withdrawal period before guinea fowl eggs are consumed or placed on the market. Furthermore, 49.43 % (Chi-square statistic = 14.92; dof = 2;
