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

The extensive use of antimicrobials in livestock has accelerated the emergence of antimicrobial resistance (AMR), raising serious global concerns. Poultry feces are recognized as important reservoirs of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) and their associated mobile genetic elements (MGEs); however, the microbial community characteristics and ARG profiles of laying hens across different laying stages remain poorly understood. In this study, 40 fecal samples were collected from laying hens at five sampling points, including the early laying stage (HE), three peak laying stages (HPI, HPII, and HPIII), and the late laying stage (HL), with eight randomly selected samples per stage. Shotgun metagenomic sequencing was conducted to characterize the taxonomic structure and functional profiles of the intestinal microbiota and to systematically analyze the diversity and distribution patterns of ARGs. The results showed that most ARGs were harbored by bacteria belonging to the phyla
