Prevalence and mobile genetic element-mediated dissemination of antimicrobial resistance along the swine industry chain of Guizhou, China.
Article in BMC veterinary research, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundAntimicrobial resistance (AMR) in livestock poses a significant threat to animal health, food safety, and public health. However, comprehensive data on AMR transmission across different stages of the swine industry chain in Guizhou Province, China, remain limited.
methodsBetween 2022 and 2024, samples were collected from the breeding, slaughtering, and sales stages across major swine-producing areas of Guizhou Province. A total of 1,280 strains, including Escherichia coli, Salmonella and Staphylococcus epidermidis, were recovered from feces, wastewater, pork, and environmental samples. Antimicrobial susceptibility was tested against 18 antimicrobials by the agar dilution method. 37 resistance genes were screened by PCR, and 48 multidrug-resistant (MDR) strains were further characterized by whole-genome sequencing (WGS).
resultsThe isolates showed high resistance to tetracycline (> 85%), ampicillin (> 80%),amoxicillin (79.6%), doxycycline(75.8%) and florfenicol (up to 88.7% in slaughtering stage). Among 37 targeted genes were detected, the most frequently detected were cmlA (52.3%), aadA1 (49.0%), qnrS (41.7%), aadA2 (40.6%), floR (37.1%) and blaTEM (32.2%). WGS showed that mobile genetic elements (MGEs), including class I integrons, Tn3-family transposons, and insertion sequences (ISs), playeda major role in resistance gene dissemination. Representative findings included the frequent co-localization of aadA gene family with class I integron gene cassettes, association of blaTEM−1 with Tn3-related structures and a pemI-pemK toxin-antitoxin system, disruption of the tetR-tet(A) regulatory unit by IS elements, and a conserved resistance core surrounding blaNDM.
conclusionThis study identified critical AMR hotspots and transmission patterns alongside the swine production chain in Guizhou and highlighted the important role of MGEs in the persistence and dissemination of resistance determinants. These findings provide baseline data for stage-specific AMR surveillance and for the development of targeted prevention and control strategies in the regional swine industry.
