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

Microbiota sharing between people and their companion animals is a concern for development of antimicrobial resistance. To assess the risks associated with feeding raw products to cats, with an emphasis on previously understudied freeze-dried products, a collection of 112 conventional and raw products was purchased and investigated using a combination of cultivation and high-throughput sequencing techniques. Here we show that bacterial cultures were exclusively isolated from raw foods. A total of 19 genera were cultured including Salmonella, Clostridium, Escherichia, Klebsiella, Enterobacter, and Cronobacter. Carbapenem-resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Pseudomonas fulva, and Stenotrophomonas lactitubi were isolated from frozen raw products, and 6 Bacillus strains harbored carbapenemase gene bla
