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

Arcobacter butzleri is an emerging pathogen associated with human gastrointestinal illness. Despite its growing significance, information on the resistance of this microorganism is limited due to the lack of practical antimicrobial susceptibility testing (AST) methods and well-defined interpretive criteria. This study evaluates agar dilution as a reliable alternative to the broth microdilution method, the current reference protocol approved by the CLSI Veterinary AST (VAST) subcommittee. A total of 415 A. butzleri isolates were tested against ciprofloxacin, erythromycin, gentamicin, and tetracycline using both agar dilution and broth microdilution methods under aerobic and microaerobic conditions. Additionally, tentative epidemiological cut-off (ECOFF) values of these antimicrobials were determined by visual estimation and the statistical tool, ECOFFinder. Agreement between methods was assessed using Cohen's kappa and Gwet's AC
