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

Background: Poultry production plays a vital role in ensuring food security and nutritional sustainability in the United Arab Emirates (UAE). However, the emergence and spread of antimicrobial-resistant bacteria in poultry farms present a growing public health concern in the region. To address this gap, this study investigated the prevalence and genetic basis of extended-spectrum β-lactamase (ESBL)-producing Gram-negative bacteria in cecal contents of chickens collected from two major poultry farms in Al Ain, UAE. Methods: A total of 77 samples were collected over an eleven-month period, yielding 146 non-duplicate Gram-negative isolates, of which Results: Phenotypic characterization revealed high rates of ESBL production (87.7%), with 95% of Conclusion: Our findings underscore the potential zoonotic risk posed by these strains and highlight the urgent need for strengthened antimicrobial stewardship, enhanced biosecurity practices, and continuous surveillance to limit the spread of resistant bacteria in poultry production and protect public health.
