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

Non-aureus staphylococci (NAS), once regarded as less pathogenic than Staphylococcus aureus, are now recognized as emerging opportunistic pathogens in both animals and humans. Species such as S. sciuri, S. chromogenes, and S. xylosus are linked to subclinical mastitis, wound infections, and other animal diseases, posing risks to food safety and public health due to the transfer of resistance genes to S. aureus or other bacterial species. This study investigated the prevalence, antimicrobial resistance, and mecA gene of NAS isolated from four districts of Bangladesh. From 180 samples, NAS were isolated using selective media and identified via the VITEK-2 system. Antimicrobial susceptibility was tested by the disc diffusion method following CLSI guidelines, and the mecA gene was detected by PCR. Among six identified species, S. sciuri (4.44%) and S. chromogenes (2.78%) were predominant. Over half of the isolates (51.85%) were multidrug-resistant, with the highest prevalence in Dhaka, while 18.5% carried the mecA gene. These findings demonstrate that NAS, particularly S. sciuri and S. chromogenes, act as significant reservoirs of multidrug and methicillin resistance. These findings highlight the need to integrate NAS into AMR surveillance and emphasize the importance of antimicrobial stewardship, continuous monitoring, and improved biosecurity to reduce public health risks.
