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 increasing use of antibiotics in aquaculture has raised global concerns about the emergence and spread of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) in aquatic environments. Objectives: This study investigated the presence of extended-spectrum β-lactamase (ESBL) producing coliform bacteria and their antibiotic resistance profiles in aquaculture systems across six Upazilas of the Cumilla district of Bangladesh. Methods: Water quality parameters (pH, dissolved oxygen, temperature, and ammonia) were measured with HACH kits. Bacterial isolates were screening through culture dependent methods and biochemical tests. Antibiotic susceptibilities were tested by disc diffusion method and resistant genes were identified using qPCR. Isolates ESBL were confirmed by double disc synergy test (DDST). Results: Microbiological analysis revealed significant variation in the bacterial contamination across sites. The most dominant bacteria were Conclusion: The findings suggest that aquaculture environments in the Cumilla District may serve as a significant reservoir of multi-drug resistant and ESBL-producing coliform bacteria. Responsible antibiotic practices and regular surveillance are necessary to limit the spread of AMR in the aquaculture industry of Bangladesh.
