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
The widespread and unregulated use of antibiotics in poultry production has led to growing concerns over the presence of antibiotic residues in meat, contributing to the global crisis of antimicrobial resistance (AMR). In Nepal, some studies have shown that up to 62% of broiler meat samples in major cities contain antibiotic residues. However, data from international border districts such as Rupandehi remain scarce despite their high poultry trade volume and potential for informal antibiotic usage. A descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted from August to November 2023 to detect antibiotic residues in broiler meat sold in Siddharthanagar Municipality, Rupandehi District, Nepal. A total of 82 samples (54 breast muscle and 28 liver samples) were randomly collected from retail meat shops. Each sample was tested for tetracycline and colistin sulfate residues using ELISA kits, resulting in 164 individual tests. The results revealed that the mean residue level of tetracycline was 2.86 μg/kg, while that of colistin sulfate was 20.65 μg/kg. Residue levels exceeded the mean in 28.05% of samples for tetracycline and 29.26% for colistin sulfate. Residue levels were significantly higher in liver samples compared to breast muscle (
