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

introductionThe spread of third-generation cephalosporin (3GC)-resistant Escherichia coli in food-producing animals poses a significant threat to public health, with limited data from cattle and sheep in Algeria. This study investigated the prevalence of 3GC-resistant E. coli in cattle and sheep in Guelma, northeast Algeria. METHODOLOGY: Two hundred eighty-five fecal samples were collected from cattle (n=145) and sheep (n=140) on 28 farms. Samples were screened for 3GC-resistant E. coli. Antibiotic susceptibility was tested, and ESBL and carbapenemase production were evaluated using double disc and EDTA tests. PCR identified resistance and integron genes.

resultsTwenty-seven cefotaxime-resistant E. coli isolates were detected in 17% of bovine and 1% of ovine samples, spanning 43% of the farms. Multidrug resistance was observed in 85% of isolates, with high resistance to β-lactams, tetracyclines, fluoroquinolones, and trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole. The following beta-lactamase genes were detected: bla

conclusionsThese findings emphasize the presence of ESBL-, AmpC-, and carbapenemase-producing E. coli among Algerian livestock, highlighting the need for comprehensive monitoring and control to manage the spread of these resistant bacteria.
