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

Salmonella Gallinarum causative agent of chicken typhoid, causes severe loss in poultry with multidrug-resistant (MDR) strains reducing antibiotic effectiveness. Bacteriophage therapy represents a promising alternative strategy for combating multidrug-resistant infections. This study aimed on isolating and characterizing bacteriophages against S. Gallinarum (S2) and evaluating their antimicrobial potential. The Bacteriophages were isolated from Ayub Medical Complex Hospital, Abbottabad, DHQ Hospital, Abbottabad and Butt Pull Water Canal in Mansehra. Their host specificity, temperature and pH stability, and antimicrobial activity were assessed. The isolated Bacteriophages SGP009, SGP004, and SGP007 formed clear lytic plaques, showed resistance to pH 2.0 for one hour, and optimal stability at pH 6–9 and 3–6, with temperature stability at 4 °C, 50 °C, and 37 °C, respectively. These bacteriophages demonstrated strong antibacterial activity against S. Gallinarum for up to 28 h without inducing resistant mutants. The isolated Bacteriophages SGP009, SGP004, and SGP007 specifically infected and lysed S. Gallinarum isolates without impacting other bacterial genera exhibiting strong, specific, and stable antibacterial activity against multidrug-resistant Salmonella Gallinarum highlighting their potential as effective targeted biocontrol agents.
