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

Cephalosporin resistance, particularly due to bla(TEM) encoded β-lactamases, among Enterobacteriaceae is, though, an increasing public health problem in India; their circulating genetic variants remain unknown. The present study deals with determination of bla(TEM) variants among 134 pathogenic Enterobacteriaceae of Indian origin. Their resistance profile against 3rd generation cephalosporins was determined. The presence of bla(TEM) variants among the bacterial plasmids was characterized by PCR followed by sequencing. Intergenic relations among the variants was determined by phylogenetic analysis. bla(TEM) protein were modeled by Modeller9v5 and verified. The catalytic pockets were characterized, and their interaction with cephalosporins was analyzed using AutoDock tools. More than 87% of isolates showed cephalosporin resistance with ESBL production among 57.8% of Escherichia coli and 50.6% of klebsiella pneumoniae. bla(TEM-1) (84.21%), bla(TEM-1) like (3.94%), bla(TEM-33) (3.94%), bla(TEM-116) (3.94%), bla(TEM-169) (3.94%), and bla(TEM-190) (7.89%) were detected in 76 isolates. Four variants, namely, bla(TEM-1) like, bla(TEM-33), bla(TEM-169), and bla(TEM-190), coexisted in 3 isolates. The largest catalytic pocket of bla(TEM-33) explained its expanded activity towards β-lactam-β-lactamase inhibitor combinations. Molecular docking indicated differential resistance pattern of bla(TEM) variants.
