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

Gram-negative pathogenic bacteria are a major contributor to antibiotic-resistant infections in hospitals and communities. The emergence of multidrug resistance (MDR) and biofilm formation complicates chemotherapy. This study aimed to assess the prevalence of multidrug-resistant (MDR) biofilm-forming, extended-spectrum beta-lactamase (ESβL) and metallo-beta-lactamase (MβL) producers in wastewater, which pose a public health threat. During 2022-2023, 117 enteric/Gram-negative isolates were isolated using selective culture techniques. Antimicrobial resistance was assessed via disc diffusion assay. ESβL and MβL production was confirmed through phenotypic and PCR-based methods. Biofilm formation was determined using a microtiter plate assay. Biofilms developed on glass coverslips were visualized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM). Isolates with bla-
