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
To investigate antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs), conjugative plasmids, and virulence genes in Swedish waterborne Escherichia spp., water samples were collected from urban freshwater and Baltic Sea beaches and a primary wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) in Stockholm, Sweden. During the summer of 2022, 68 isolates were recovered using ESBL-selective and non-selective agar, including 40 from wastewater and 28 from fresh or brackish water. Isolates were characterised by phenotypic antibiotic susceptibility testing, conjugation assays, and whole-genome sequencing. Antibiotic residues were quantified, with higher concentrations detected at WWTP inlets and outlets than in natural water sources. Overall, 28 isolates (41.17%) were phenotypically multidrug-resistant (MDR), and 18 (26.47%) carried ≥3 ARGs. WWTP-derived isolates showed a significantly higher prevalence of extended-spectrum β-lactamase (ESBL) genes than freshwater isolates (p < 0.0001). Isolates represented diverse multilocus sequence types (MLST), and most harboured ≥1 plasmid. Sixteen strains transferred conjugative plasmids encoding resistance to cefotaxime, tetracycline, streptomycin, and trimethoprim. ESBL genes, including bla
