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 retrospective study investigated the bacterial species distribution and antimicrobial susceptibility of canine ocular isolates submitted to a Japanese diagnostic laboratory between October 2022 and March 2026. A total of 737 isolates were recovered, with Staphylococcus pseudintermedius (248/737, 33.6%) and Streptococcus canis (116/737, 15.7%) the most common isolates. Notably, 100 (40.3%) of the S. pseudintermedius isolates were methicillin-resistant. Cefotaxime demonstrated high activity against major Gram-positive pathogens, except for methicillin-resistant S. pseudintermedius, and Escherichia coli. In contrast, susceptibility to gatifloxacin varied markedly among the species, whereas the spectrum of gentamicin and polymyxin B was limited due to intrinsic resistance among common Gram-positive pathogens. These findings provide useful information for empirical antimicrobial selection in canine ocular infections in Japan.
