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

backgroundEscherichia (E.) coli is the primary cause of urinary tract infections in companion animals.

objectivesTherefore, the present study aimed to characterise antimicrobial resistance profiles, virulence-associated genes, and phylogenetic diversity of E. coli with haemolytic colony morphology isolated from urine samples of cats and dogs during routine diagnostic activities, which have not been characterised previously in Austria.

methodsA total of 51 isolates were included from dogs (n = 32) and cats (n = 19) and characterised by a polyphasic approach, including susceptibility testing and DNA microarray-based assays. In addition, all isolates were analysed using two-locus fumC and fimH sequence typing (CH-clonotyping) and E. coli phylotyping.

resultsThe majority of E. coli isolates belonged to phylogenetic group B2, with one isolate assigned to phylogenetic group B1. Thirty-four CH-clonotypes were detected using two-locus sequence typing. All isolates detected could be classified as ExPEC.

conclusionsThe identification of clonal complexes common to humans indicates interspecies transmission, thereby emphasising the critical need for surveillance in companion animal populations.
