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
This study aimed to determine the prevalence of Proteus mirabilis in frozen chicken carcass from local slaughterhouse. It assesses the activities of nine antimicrobial agents and the presence of antimicrobial resistance genes and virulence genes. Thirty samples were collected from five local Iraqi companies. and then the antibiotic-resistance genes and virulence factor-related genes were detected via polymerase chain reaction (PCR). The results revealed that Nine P. mirabilis isolates were recovered, and the majority of the isolates were resistant to both nalidixic acid and azithromycin at a ratio of (100 %), followed by trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole (sul1) (88.8 %), whereas the isolates were susceptible to imipenem and meropenem, and both ceftazidime and cefotaxime were efficient at a ratio of (88.8 %). All the isolates (100 %) were resistant to at least three classes of antibiotics and were classified as multidrug resistant. The PCR results indicated that the most common resistance genes were DNA Gyrase Subunit A Gene (gyrA) (100 %), Dihydropteroate Synthase Gene (sul1) (88.8 %), and Florenicol Resistance Gene (floR) (88.8 %), followed by Aminoglycoside N-Acetyltransferase Gene (acc (6')-lb) (44.4 %) and Macrolide Phosphotransferase Gene (mphA) (33.3 %). In addition, the virulence genes Zinc Metalloprotease A Gene (zapA), Uridine Monophosphate Synthase Gene (uraC), Histone-Modifying Protein A Gene (hpmA), Flagellin A Gene (flaA), Anti-Sigma Factor RsbA Gene (rsbA), and Multidrug Resistance Protein A Gene (mrpA) were found in the same proportion (100 %) of all P. mirabilis isolates. Our study emphasized that Proteus mirabilis has a high frequency of antibiotic resistance as a multidrug resistance pattern and furthermore demonstrated a high level of virulence factor gene detection, which might be a threat to food safety and human health. The phylogenetic tree analysis of the P. mirabilis isolates from chicken meat revealed high similarity to the database strain.
