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
Background: The emergence and spread of antimicrobial-resistant Enterobacterales, particularly extended-spectrum beta-lactamase-producing Enterobacterales (ESBL-PE), represent the major global public health concern. The objective of this study was to determine the fecal carriage, antimicrobial resistance pattern, and associated factors of ESBL-PE among apparently healthy food handlers who work in the students' cafeteria at Arba Minch University, Ethiopia. Method: An institution-based cross-sectional study was conducted from May 1 to August 30, 2025. A pretested, semistructured questionnaire was used to collect sociodemographic, clinical, behavioral, and other related data. Stool samples were collected from participants and inoculated on MacConkey agar. Bacterial colonies on the MacConkey agar were identified using standard biochemical tests. Screening and confirmation of extended-spectrum Results: Overall prevalence of fecal carriage of ESBL-PE was 51/319 (16%; CI 12.2-20.1). The most predominant ESBL-PE was Conclusion: This study revealed a high prevalence of extended-spectrum
