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

backgroundBovine mastitis is one of the most significant and costly diseases in the dairy industry, and Escherichia coli (E. coli) is a common etiological agent of subclinical mastitis. This study aimed to phenotypically and genotypically characterize biofilm-forming E. coli isolated from subclinical bovine mastitis and to investigate their association with antimicrobial resistance. A total of 254 composite milk samples were collected from cows with subclinical mastitis in five dairy farms in Egypt.

resultsThe overall prevalence of E. coli was 26.7% (68/254), with the highest isolation rates in Giza (37.1%) and Cairo-Alexandria (30.2%) regions. Molecular screening of diarrheagenic E. coli (DEC) virulence genes revealed the presence of st (10.3%), stx

conclusionThese findings highlight the important contribution of environmental and commensal E. coli lineages to subclinical mastitis in Egypt and underscore the need for improved farm hygiene and prudent antimicrobial use to limit the spread of biofilm-forming and antimicrobial-resistant E. coli in dairy herds.
