Isolation of some microbial genera from beef carcasses in Mosul slaughterhouse.
Article in Open veterinary journal, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Background: The lack of modern slaughtering establishments and unsanitary practices can result in excessive microbial contamination of carcasses, posing health risks and causing economic losses. Aim: This study aimed to identify the numerous genera of bacteria that contaminated beef carcasses and estimate their percentages using a culture method and confirmation using the VITEK 2 methodology. Methods: This study included 96 swabs collected from beef carcasses after final wash at a slaughterhouse in Nineveh Governorate, Iraq, between October and November 2023. All samples were grown on different media for 24 hours at 37°C to assess their phenotypic characteristics of colonies. Results: All samples contained aerobic bacteria (100%). Our data revealed several genera in beef carcasses. Of the 96 samples, 23 (23.9%) were positive for the beef microbiological profile (coliform bacilli and opportunistic pathogens). Seven genera were isolated and verified using the VITEK 2 Compact System. Conclusion: In our investigation, the quantity of bacteria in beef carcasses was generally acceptable, indicating commitment to the slaughterhouse's food safety guidelines.
