Evaluation of guidelines on antimicrobials use in food-producing animals: a systematic review.
Review in One health outlook, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
backgroundAntimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a global public health problem due to misuse/overuse of antimicrobials. The interplay between humans, animals, and the environment requires a One Health approach for effective AMR control. We focused this research on antimicrobial use in food-producing animals (bovine, caprine, equine, ovine, and swine) to assess the compliance of Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) countries (members, partners, and candidates) with international guidelines: Codex Alimentarius: Code of Practice to Minimize and Contain Foodborne Antimicrobial Resistance, and the Terrestrial Animal Health Code.
methodsFor this systematic review (PROSPERO CRD42024535461), between February 1 and June 30 of 2024, guidelines were searched on: governmental websites associated with health and veterinary sectors, veterinary organizations specified by the government or included in the country's National Action Plan for AMR, and the global repository of available guidelines for responsible use of antimicrobials in animal health. Three researchers performed data extraction and AGREE II appraisal was conducted by two researchers.
resultsOf the 49 OECD countries, 37 presented guidelines (n = 82) for responsible antimicrobial use in the analyzed species, with bovine and swine being the most represented. The highest number of published guidelines was observed between 2017-2020. The number of clinical and non-clinical guidelines were 43 and 37, respectively, emphasizing the need for veterinarian-directed recommendations.
conclusionsThe AMR challenge, the interdependence of countries, and the trade of animal-derived products should encourage national initiatives to develop and implement guidelines for the judicious use of antimicrobials in animal production. Due to OECD countries' disparities in terms of culture, internal policies, attitudes and perceptions about AMR, and financial resources, this process needs to be gradual and tailored for each case. Therefore, communication and collaboration between countries and stakeholders are essential.
