Article in BMC veterinary research, 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
backgroundThis study investigated the prevalence of Salmonella, determined the minimum inhibitory concentrations (MICs) of antimicrobials, and examined antimicrobial resistance genes and plasmids in Salmonella strains from broiler chickens in Kagoshima Prefecture, Japan.
resultsA total of 3,774 cecal samples were collected from 236 broiler flocks between 2019 and 2023. Salmonella was prevalent in 202 (85.6%) and 753 (19.9%) broiler flocks and cecal content samples, respectively. Salmonella Manhattan, S. Schwarzengrund, and S. Infantis were the only serovars found in broiler chickens in Kagoshima Prefecture. Since 2021, the isolation rate of S. Schwarzengrund has been higher than that of other serovars. A total of 278/753 (36.9%) Salmonella strains were resistant to kanamycin, 99.3% of which were S. Schwarzengrund strains (MIC value ≥ 512 µg/mL). Furthermore, of the 268 Salmonella isolates that were tested for susceptibility to all antimicrobials used in this study, all were susceptible to cefoxitin and ofloxacin, and the majority were resistant to streptomycin-S (98.5%), sulfamethoxazole-Su (90.3%), tetracycline-T (79.5%), and kanamycin-Km (28.7%). In addition, three plasmid replicons (IncFIB, IncP1, and IncX4) were identified in Salmonella. IncFIB was present in all the Salmonella isolates examined and contained antimicrobial resistance genes. IncX4 and IncP1 were identified in streptomycin, sulfamethoxazole, and tetracycline (SSuT)-resistant S. Manhattan and streptomycin, sulfamethoxazole, tetracycline, and kanamycin (SSuTKm)-resistant S. Infantis, respectively, and contained none of the resistance genes.
conclusionThis study revealed an increased incidence of S. Schwarzengrund in broiler chickens, which exhibit high kanamycin resistance. Additionally, a significant percentage of the Salmonella isolates in this study were resistant to streptomycin, tetracycline, and sulfamethoxazole. This finding suggests that these antimicrobials are ineffective at controlling infections in broilers. In addition, we speculate that the spread of antibiotic resistance in Salmonella is enhanced by plasmids.
