Antimicrobial Resistance Along the Food Chain: Spread and Integrated Strategies for Mitigation and Control.

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.
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
The development of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) and the emergence of multiresistant pathogens represent a growing global threat to both human and animal health. Beyond the excessive and improper use of antimicrobials in human medicine, irrational use in veterinary medicine, agriculture, and aquaculture significantly contributes to the selection and spread of resistant microorganisms, which can enter the food chain and reach humans through food consumption or handling. Based on results from a recent meta-analysis, the prevalence of antimicrobial-resistant foodborne pathogens in food samples exceeds 10%. The veterinary sector is of particular concern, as a large proportion of antimicrobials are used in animal production, generating strong selective pressure and favoring the dissemination of AMR along the food chain. In an increasingly interconnected global context, resistant pathogens and resistance determinants can disseminate rapidly across sectors and national borders, making strategies confined to a single sector insufficient; therefore, effectively addressing AMR requires a One Health approach encompassing the human, veterinary, and environmental domains. Key mitigation strategies include strengthening antimicrobial stewardship programs, also in animal production, reducing routine prophylactic use of antimicrobials, and improving surveillance, coordinated across sectors and, where possible, further supported by advanced technologies such as artificial intelligence and machine learning. Further efforts are also needed to improve microbiological diagnostics, particularly through rapid and molecular methods, to support timely, targeted therapies and reduce inappropriate empirical treatments. In parallel, investment in new therapeutic options, including innovative molecules, drug combinations, and alternative approaches, remains crucial to effectively countering the growing burden of antimicrobial resistance.
