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 serious threat to public health, with the emergence of extended-spectrum beta-lactamases (ESBLs) in Enterobacteriaceae, particularly Escherichia coli, raising significant concerns. This study aims to elucidate the drivers of antimicrobial resistance, and the global spread of cefotaxime-resistant E. coli (CREC) strains. Whole-genome sequencing (WGS) was performed to explore genome-level characteristics, and phylogenetic analysis was conducted to compare twenty CREC strains from this study, which were isolated from broiler chicken farms in Bangladesh, with a global collection (n = 456) of CREC strains from multiple countries and hosts. The MIC analysis showed over 70% of strains isolated from broiler chickens exhibiting MIC values ≥ 256 mg/L for cefotaxime. Notably, 85% of the studied farms (17/20) tested positive for CREC by the end of the production cycle, with CREC counts increasing from 0.83 ± 1.75 log10 CFU/g feces on day 1 to 5.24 ± 0.72 log10 CFU/g feces by day 28. WGS revealed the presence of multiple resistance genes, including blaCTX-M, which was found in 30% of the strains. Phylogenetic comparison showed that the Bangladeshi strains were closely related to strains from diverse geographical regions and host species. This study provides a comprehensive understanding of the molecular epidemiology of CREC. The close phylogenetic relationships between Bangladeshi and global strains demonstrate the widespread presence of cefotaxime-resistant bacteria and emphasize the importance of monitoring AMR in food-producing animals to mitigate the spread of resistant strains.
