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 total of 296 E. coli strains isolated from hospitalized patients with urinary tract infection were included in this study. These strains were tested for their resistance to 22 antimicrobial drugs and the presence of ESBLs genes coding for TEM, SHV, OXA, and CTX-M. We further characterized them for their interaction with a renal cell line (A-498) and a gastrointestinal cell line (Caco-2). Strains were also typed using a combination of RAPD-PCR, PhP-typing and phylogenetic grouping. Only eight strains (2.7 %) were confirmed as ESBLs producers. The most common clonal type contained 35 isolates and only two of them were ESBLs producers and both showed a high degree of adhesion to both cell lines but only one was able to translocate in Caco-2 cells. These strains belonged to phylogenetic group B2, were resistant to nine antibiotics and carried CTX-M-type of ESBL. The remaining six strains belonged to single clones with different phylogenetic groups and ESBL genotypes and were resistant to between 12 and 15 antibiotics. They also showed a high rate of adhesion to A-498 cells (19 ± 2 to 35 ± 3 CFU/cell) and all translocated in this cell line. The rate of adhesion of ESBL-producing strains to Caco-2 cells (11 ± 3.4 CFU/cell) was significantly lower than A-498 cells (26 ± 8 CFU/cell) (p = 0.0002) and only four of them translocated in Caco-2 cells. Our results suggest that the ESBL-producing clones of E. coli have a potential to translocate and cause septicemia in hospitalized patients with UTI.
