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
We examined the antimicrobial resistance of 1,493 Escherichia coli isolates from 440 swine fecal samples (211 and 229 samples were obtained from the sow and fattening groups, respectively) on ten farms and analyzed the association between the antimicrobial resistance rate and the annual antimicrobial usage at the farm level adjusted by the daily defined dose in Japan. For most antimicrobial agents, the rate of resistance was greater on farms with higher levels of antimicrobial use, suggesting that the amount of the corresponding antimicrobial class used at the farm level may have affected the resistance rates. Some antimicrobial resistance was positively associated with the use of the corresponding or structurally related antimicrobial agents: resistance to tetracycline in the sow group and resistance to chloramphenicol, streptomycin, kanamycin, sulfonamide-trimethoprim, and nalidixic acid in the fattening group. In addition, for many antimicrobial-resistant strains, an association was found with the use of single or multiple antimicrobial classes other than the corresponding class: resistance to ampicillin and kanamycin in the sow group and resistance to ampicillin, cefazolin, cefoxitin, cefotaxime, tetracycline, chloramphenicol, streptomycin, kanamycin, gentamicin and nalidixic acid in the fattening group. In the case of the association with the noncorresponding class, most of the E. coli isolates were multidrug resistant, suggesting that there is a high possibility of coselection on farms and that reducing the use of multiple antimicrobial agents may be effective at decreasing antimicrobial resistance.
