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

This study presents the first description and characterisation of Lactococcus garvieae isolated from diseased European sea bass (Dicentrarchus labrax) farmed in Spain. During autumn 2023, two fish farms were affected by infectious outbreaks causing moderate cumulative fish mortality (5%-10%). Diseased fish showed clinical signs of haemorrhagic septicaemia, compatible with lactococcosis. Standardised screening tests revealed the presence of Gram-positive cocci in the kidney, spleen and brain of the diseased fish, and negative results for parasites and viruses. Bacterial cultures recovered from the internal organs of all diseased fish were identified as Lactococcus garvieae by phenotypic, genetic, immunological and proteomic analyses. Strains were sensitive to oxytetracycline, florfenicol and erythromycin and resistant to trimethoprim sulfamethoxazole. In addition, representative isolates were virulent to juvenile sea bass and Senegalese sole (Solea senegalensis) after intracoelomic challenge with doses ranging from 10
