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

A random mutagenesis technique was used to predict the evolutionary potential of beta-lactamase CTX-M-9 toward the acquisition of improved catalytic activity against ceftazidime. Thirty CTX-M mutants were obtained during three rounds of mutagenesis. These mutants conferred 1- to 128-fold-higher MICs of ceftazidime than the parental enzyme CTX-M-9. The CTX-M mutants contained one to six amino acid substitutions. Mutants harbored the substitutions Asp240Gly and Pro167Ser, which were previously observed in clinical CTX-M enzymes. Additional substitutions, notably Arg164His, Asp179Gly, and Arg276Ser, were observed near the active site. The kinetic constants of the three most active mutants revealed two distinct ways of improving catalytic efficiency against ceftazidime. One enzyme had a 17-fold-higher k(cat) value than CTX-M-9 against ceftazidime. The other two had 75- to 300-fold-lower Km values than CTX-M-9 against ceftazidime. The current emergence of CTX-M beta-lactamases with improved activity against ceftazidime may therefore be the beginning of an evolutionary process which might subsequently generate a great diversity of CTX-M-type ceftazidimases.
