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

Acinetobacter baumannii A118, a naturally competent clinical isolate, is unusually susceptible to several antibiotics. Comparison of the optical map of strain A118 with in silico-generated restriction maps of sequenced genomes and sequence analyses showed that the AbaR region, commonly found inserted within the comM gene in other isolates, is missing in strain A118, which could in part explain the susceptible phenotype exhibited by this isolate. These comparative studies also showed differences in regions where genes coding for functions that may be involved in drug resistance or susceptibility are located. Further sequencing demonstrated that cat and bla(ADC), named bla(ADC-55), are present but that a tet(A) gene usually found in other strains is not. In addition, carO and pbp2, which may play a role in susceptibility to carbapenems, are present in strain A118. These findings support the idea that A. baumannii strains possess multiple mechanisms that contribute to antibiotic resistance, and the presence of some of them is not sufficient for a resistant phenotype. The results shown here indicate that optical mapping is a useful tool for preliminary comparative genomic analysis.
