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

The relationships between porin deficiency, active efflux of fluoroquinolones, and extended-spectrum beta-lactamase (ESBL) production were determined for 53 clinical isolates of Klebsiella pneumoniae. Thirty-two ESBL-positive strains (including 22 strains expressing porins and 10 strains lacking porins) and 21 ESBL-negative strains were evaluated. Active efflux of norfloxacin was defined as a >/=50% increase in the accumulation of norfloxacin in the presence of carbonyl cyanide m-chlorophenylhydrazone (CCCP) in comparison with the corresponding basal value in the absence of CCCP. The quinolone resistance-determining regions of both gyrA and parC from 13 strains, representing all isolates with different porin profiles and with or without active efflux, were determined. Porin loss was significantly more common among ESBL-positive strains (10 of 32 [31.2%]) than among ESBL-negative strains (0 of 2 [0%]) (P < 0.01). Active efflux was observed in 7 of 10 (70%) strains lacking porins and in 4 of 43 (9.3%) strains producing porins (P < 0.001). The 11 strains showing active efflux corresponded to 3 of 21 (14.3%) ESBL-negative strains and 8 of 32 (25.5%) ESBL-positive strains (P > 0.05). Basal values of norfloxacin accumulation were higher in strains lacking active efflux than in those that had this mechanism (P < 0.05). In the absence of topoisomerase changes, the contribution of either porin loss or active efflux to fluoroquinolone resistance in K. pneumoniae was negligible. It is concluded that among K. pneumoniae strains of clinical origin, porin loss was observed only in those producing ESBL, and that a significant number of porin-deficient strains also expressed active efflux of norfloxacin. In terms of fluoroquinolone resistance, both mechanisms are significant only in the presence of topoisomerase modifications.
