Distinct transmission routes of Salmonella enterica serovars during pig growth on farms.

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
Non-typhoidal Salmonella enterica is a major foodborne pathogen, with pigs and pig-derived products serving as key transmission sources of human infection. In this study, we applied whole-genome sequencing (WGS) to investigate the prevalence, transmission dynamics and antimicrobial resistance of Salmonella throughout the pig growing process on four closely related pig farms in China. Core-genome single nucleotide polymorphism (cgSNP) analysis has been widely used to determine the genetic relationships among Salmonella isolates from animals and animal-derived foods. To our knowledge, this is the first study to apply cgSNP analysis for epidemiological tracing of Salmonella transmission across interconnected pig farms in China. A total of 1,211 samples were collected from one breeding farm and three commercial farms in China, yielding 249 Salmonella isolates with an overall prevalence rate of 20.6%. Serotyping and genomic analysis determined five serovars, primarily S. Rissen, S. Derby, and S. 1,4,[5],12:i:-. cgSNP analysis further classified S. Rissen, S. Derby, and S. 1,4,[5],12:i:- into different clusters and revealed different transmission routes. Antimicrobial susceptibility test (AST) showed that all major serovars exhibited similar multidrug resistance to ampicillin, tetracycline, and sulfamethoxazole-trimethoprim. These findings demonstrate that different Salmonella serovars spread via distinct transmission routes but share common antimicrobial resistance patterns in pigs, emphasizing the need for targeted control measures across pig production chain to reduce the public health risks associated with antimicrobial-resistant Salmonella.
