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 putative multidrug efflux pump, EmrD-3, belonging to the major facilitator superfamily (MFS) of transporters and sharing homology with the Bcr/CflA subfamily, was identified in Vibrio cholerae O395. We cloned the emrD-3 gene and evaluated its role in antimicrobial efflux in a hypersensitive Escherichia coli strain. The efflux activity of this membrane protein resulted in lowering the intracellular concentration of ethidium. The recombinant plasmid carrying emrD-3 conferred enhanced resistance to several antimicrobials. Among the antimicrobials tested, the highest relative increase in minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of 102-fold was observed for linezolid (MIC = 256 microg/ml), followed by an 80.1-fold increase for tetraphenylphosphonium chloride (TPCL) (156.2 microg/ml), 62.5-fold for rifampin (MIC = 50 microg/ml), >30-fold for erythromycin (MIC = 50 microg/ml) and minocycline (MIC = 2 microg/ml), 20-fold for trimethoprim (MIC = 0.12 microg/ml), and 18.7-fold for chloramphenicol (MIC = 18.7 microg/ml). Among the fluorescent DNA-binding dyes, the highest relative increase in MIC of 41.7-fold was observed for ethidium bromide (125 microg/ml) followed by a 17.2-fold increase for rhodamine 6G (100 microg/ml). Thus, we demonstrate that EmrD-3 is a multidrug efflux pump of V. cholerae, the homologues of which are present in several Vibrio spp., some members of Enterobacteriaceae family, and Gram-positive Bacillus spp.
