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

With the growing pet market, various types of pet food become available. Pet foods, especially raw meat-based diets (RMBDs), are contaminated with pathogens and antimicrobial-resistant bacteria, leading to health concerns for pets and humans. The bacterial contamination levels in pet food, including the presence of antimicrobial-resistant bacteria, have not been extensively studied in Japan. To address this issue in commercial pet foods in Japan, we evaluated the standard plate counts (SPCs) of various pet food samples, and isolated and characterized
