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

Antimicrobial resistance in foodborne bacteria poses a growing threat to public health. In this study, multidrug-resistant Enterobacter hormaechei (E. hormaechei), a member of the Enterobacter cloacae complex (ECC), was isolated from bovine raw milk in Gujarat, India, and examined for its prevalence, antimicrobial resistance, and genomic characteristics. A total of 21 presumptive E. hormaechei isolates were recovered from 190 raw milk samples (11.05%) based on morphological and biochemical characteristics and further confirmed using a species-specific PCR assay. Based on their phenotypic antimicrobial resistance profiles, eight multidrug-resistant (MDR) isolates were selected for whole-genome sequencing and downstream genomic analyses. Whole-genome sequencing of the MDR isolates revealed distinct sequence types, with ST350 and ST68 clustered closely. The sequenced isolates harbored a diverse repertoire of antimicrobial resistance genes, including blaACT, qnrS1/qnrB7, fosA, oqxA/B, mph(A), and aminoglycoside-modifying enzymes, consistent with their multidrug-resistant phenotypes. Virulence profiling identified genes associated with iron acquisition, adhesion, stress response, and type VI secretion systems, suggesting the presence of virulence-associated genetic determinants. Plasmid replicons (IncFII and Col-type) and the insertion sequence IS26 were identified among the sequenced isolates. This study provides a genomic characterization of MDR E. hormaechei isolates from raw milk in Gujarat, India, and emphasizes the importance of continuous AMR surveillance to monitor the spread of Enterobacter lineages with relevance to food safety and public health.
