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

Background: The primary causative agent of colibacillosis in broiler chickens is avian pathogenic Aim: This study aimed to investigate the prevalence and genetic diversity of APEC in broiler farms in the Nineveh Governorate, Iraq. Methods: From June 2024 to December 2024, 391 swab samples were collected from 76 broiler chicken farms and subjected to bacteriological and molecular analyses. Four tissue swabs (heart, air sacs, liver, and peritoneum) were pooled into a single sample for each bird. Results: The results revealed a high overall APEC prevalence of 78.26%, with regional rates ranging from 70.0% to 85.52%, with the highest prevalence observed in Rabia and Al-Hamdaniya. The phylogenetic analysis revealed marked genetic heterogeneity among the local strains, indicating that they are not all derived from a single source. Interestingly, some isolates clustered closely with strains previously reported from Turkey and Iran. This genetic relatedness indicates that Conclusion: These findings highlight the endemic presence and diverse genetic background of avian pathogenic
