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

backgroundStaphylococcus spp. commonly colonise the skin and mucosal surfaces of dogs and may act as opportunistic pathogens under favourable conditions. Antimicrobial resistance and biofilm formation are key traits that may contribute to bacterial persistence and reduced susceptibility to antimicrobial agents.

objectivesThis study aimed to characterise the antimicrobial resistance profiles and biofilm-forming ability of Staphylococcus spp. isolated from the nasal cavities of dogs admitted to the Surgical Unit of the Veterinary Teaching Hospital in Naples, Italy.

methodsNasal swabs were collected from 100 dogs prior to surgery. Strains were identified by MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry. Antimicrobial susceptibility testing was performed using the disk diffusion method according to international guidelines. Biofilm formation was assessed using a quantitative crystal violet assay. RESULTS AND

conclusionsA total of 65 Staphylococcus strains were recovered. Staphylococcus pseudintermedius was the most prevalent species (40%; χ
