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

Metallo-β-lactamases (MβLs) represent one of the main mechanisms of bacterial resistance against β-lactam antibiotics. The elucidation of their mechanism has been limited mostly by the structural diversity among their active sites. All MβLs structurally characterized so far present a Cys or a Ser residue at position 221, which is critical for catalysis. GOB lactamases stand as an exception within this picture, possessing a Met residue in this location. We studied different mutants in this position, and we show that Met221 is essential for protein stability, most likely due to its involvement in a hydrophobic core. In contrast to other known MβLs, residue 221 is not involved in metal binding or in catalysis in GOB enzymes, further highlighting the structural diversity of MβLs. We also demonstrate the usefulness of protein periplasmic profiles to assess the contribution of protein stability to antibiotic resistance.
