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

This study aimed to phenotypically and genotypically detect beta-lactam-resistant Escherichia coli in the feces of wild and migratory birds residing in or passing through the Marmara Region during seasonal migration. A total of 272 fresh fecal samples were non-invasively collected and grouped as follows: (1) resident wild waterfowl, (2) resident urban birds (e.g., pigeons, crows, sparrows), (3) migratory birds overwintering in Turkey, and (4) migratory birds staying during spring and summer. Samples were cultured on MacConkey agar with and without cefotaxime (1 mg/L). Carbapenem resistance was assessed using the Modified Hodge Test; none of the 212 isolates tested positive. Among the 272 birds sampled, 62 (22.8%) carried ESBL and/or AmpC producing isolates. Antimicrobial-resistant E. coli were identified in 59 of 272 birds (21.7%), including 47 ESBL-positive, 6 AmpC-positive, and 5 harboring both resistance types. Group 1 (mainly gulls) showed the highest resistance rates. PCR analysis revealed that among 84 isolates, 48 carried only beta-lactamase genes, 3 only AmpC genes, and 5 both. Detected genes included: bla
