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

Antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) are prevalent in livestock environments due to antimicrobial use, yet their airborne dispersal into human-occupied indoor spaces remains poorly characterized. We investigated whether airborne ARGs disperse from livestock stables into farmers' homes and surrounding outdoor environments. Electrostatic dust collectors were deployed in paired pig and cow stables and their associated homes in Jutland, Denmark, to collect settled airborne dust. Pooled samples were analyzed using shotgun metagenomic sequencing. ARG dispersal patterns were assessed using FEAST source tracking and ecological similarity metrics, including shared ARG ratios and Jaccard indices. Pig production systems exhibited higher antibiotic use and stronger resistome continuity with farmers' homes than cow systems, reflected by greater FEAST contributions (P = 0.029) and Jaccard similarity (P = 0.029). Beta-diversity analysis supported higher compositional similarity between pig stables and homes (PERMANOVA R
