Isolation, Antibiogram and Factors Associated With Staphylococcus aureus From Fish at the Landing Site and Selected Restaurants in Central Gondar, Ethiopia: One Health Approach.

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
backgroundIn developing countries, foodborne infections, including those caused by Staphylococcus aureus, pose a significant public health risk.
objectiveThis study aimed to isolate S. aureus, assess its antimicrobial resistance and identify factors influencing its prevalence in unloading sites and restaurants in central Gondar, Ethiopia.
methodA cross-sectional study (December 2023-September 2024) was conducted with a total of 301 fish and swab samples were purposively collected. Samples were analysed for S. aureus using culture, Gram staining, biochemical tests and Kirby-Bauer antimicrobial susceptibility testing. Data were analysed using STATA 16 with descriptive statistics at p < 0.05.
resultFrom a total of 301 samples were collected from fish, hands and knives at unloading sites, with S. aureus found in 26% of the samples. Of the 201 fish samples, 13% of unfilleted and 39% of filleted fish tested positive. A questionnaire survey revealed that all respondents handled fish with bare hands. Antibiotic testing showed that S. aureus was susceptible to ciprofloxacin (100%) and chloramphenicol (92%) but highly resistant to erythromycin (55%), tetracycline (72%) and penicillin G (87%). Additionally, 57% of isolates were multidrug-resistant.
conclusionOver one-fourth of samples were contaminated with S. aureus, mainly due to poor hygiene and bare-hand handling, with high resistance to penicillin and tetracycline observed. Strengthened hygiene practices, routine resistance monitoring and continuous food safety training are recommended.
