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 AND

objectivesExtended-spectrum β-lactamase (ESBL)- and carbapenemase-producing Enterobacteriaceae represent an increasing One Health concern because food-producing animals may act as reservoirs of antimicrobial-resistant bacteria with potential transmission to humans. Therefore, this study aimed to assess the prevalence and genomic characteristics of ESBL- and carbapenemase-producing Enterobacteriaceae in livestock and farmers, and to evaluate genomic overlap between animal and human ESBL-producing

methodsWe conducted a cross-sectional study in Osona (Catalonia, Spain), sampling livestock (swine, cattle, poultry, and horses) and farmers. ESBL-, AmpC-, and carbapenemase-producing Enterobacteriaceae were identified and characterized using whole genome sequencing (WGS). Genomic analyses included sequence typing (ST), serotyping, virulence-associated genes, antimicrobial resistance determinants, and plasmid replicon profiling.

resultsA total of 945 animals were analysed. ESBL-producing Enterobacteriaceae were predominantly detected in swine, with 63.5% (127/200) of animals testing positive, including four ESBL + AmpC-producing isolates and two carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae. No ESBL-, AmpC- or carbapenemase-producing isolates were identified in cattle (0/360) or poultry (0/171), and a low prevalence was observed in horses (7.0%, 15/214). A total of 64 farm workers were analysed. ESBL-producing

conclusionsSwine appear to constitute the primary reservoir of ESBL-producing
