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

We investigated the prevalence and role of efflux pump activity and possible drug influx resistance in ciprofloxacin susceptibility amongst 26 distinct clinical isolates of Klebsiella pneumoniae of varying ciprofloxacin susceptibilities and known quinolone resistance-determining region (QRDR) genotypes. Cellular [(14)C]ciprofloxacin accumulation patterns and the amount of cell-associated [(14)C]ciprofloxacin of mid-logarithmic phase cells were determined before and after challenging with the efflux pump inhibitor carbonyl cyanide 3-chlorophenylhydrazone (CCCP). Most isolates (24/26), and all with ciprofloxacin minimum inhibitory concentrations (MICs) >1 µg/ml, had efflux activity that could extrude up to 90% of cell-associated [(14)C]ciprofloxacin; none had significant influx resistance. In isolates with no QRDR mutations, efflux alone reduced ciprofloxacin susceptibility. In isolates with QRDR mutations, the efflux activity varied: in one isolate with no efflux activity, the most common fluoroquinolone resistance-causing QRDR mutation did not bring about clinically significant ciprofloxacin resistance; isolates with multiple mutations had high MICs and, usually, high levels of efflux activity. Fluoroquinolone efflux activity is much more common in clinical isolates of K. pneumoniae than previously reported and it can contribute to decreased ciprofloxacin susceptibility.
