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

Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a global health challenge, and its dissemination can be accelerated by international air travel. Aircraft sewage, aggregating microbial material from global travelers, offers a unique surveillance opportunity for AMR at international entry points. However, specific AMR elements detected in aircraft sewage and how their relative abundance and transcriptional activity may be associated with flight characteristics such as flight duration or departure country remain unclear. This study analyzed 130 sewage samples from international flights arriving in Saudi Arabia across 27 countries. Metagenomic analyses revealed distinct AMR profiles in aircraft sewage compared to local municipal sewage, including elevated relative abundances of
