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 (AMR) poses a critical global public health threat, with the food chain serving as a significant transmission route connecting animals, environment, and humans. This review adopts a One Health perspective to analyze the key drivers of AMR dissemination across animal agriculture, aquaculture and food processing. We evaluate detection methodologies, contrasting the regulatory gold standard of culture-based phenotypic testing with rapid molecular advancements, including Whole Genome Sequencing (WGS), metagenomics, and emerging CRISPR-Cas diagnostics. While molecular tools offer unprecedented speed and resolution, challenges such as matrix interference, the viable but non-culturable (VBNC) state, and the genotype-phenotype disconnect remain. Finally, integrated mitigation strategies are also described, ranging from on-farm antimicrobial stewardship and innovative biofilm control to consumer hygiene practices. It is essential to bridge the technical and regulatory gaps in AMR surveillance in order to develop effective interventions and ensure a safer food system.
