Evaluation of multidrug-resistant bacteria and their molecular mechanisms found in small animal veterinary practices in Portugal.

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
Introduction: Intensive medical care provided in companion animal practices carries the potential risk of selecting and disseminating multidrug-resistant organisms (MDROs). However, data on infection, prevention and control standards specific to small animal veterinary practices (SAVPs) remains limited. The goal of our work was to evaluate the environmental contamination and staff carriage by MDROs in veterinary practices across Portugal. Methods: Fourteen SAVPs were enrolled. Environmental samples were collected from critical areas such as operating room, wards and pre-operative area. Veterinary team members voluntarily gave nasal, hand and rectal swabs. All samples were screened for the presence of, including extended-spectrum β-lactamases (ESBL)- and carbapenemase-producing Gram-negative bacteria and methicillin-resistant Results: Environmental evaluation by surface swabs revealed that 6.5% (n=32/490) were contaminated with multidrug-resistant Gram-negative bacteria. OXA-23-producing Discussion: These emerging data indicate that SAVPs may significantly contribute to the dissemination of MDROs. To address this, rigorous infection, prevention and control (IPC) measures should be implemented, alongside educational workshops directed to all veterinary staff as well as to veterinary and nursing students.
