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

Environmental contamination by toxic organic compounds and antimicrobials is one of the causes for the recent surge of multidrug-resistant pathogenic bacteria. Monitoring contamination is therefore the first step in containment of antimicrobial resistance and requires the development of simple, sensitive, and quantitative tools that detect a broad spectrum of toxic compounds. In this study, we have engineered a new microbial biosensor based on the ttgR-regulated promoter that controls expression of the TtgABC extrusion efflux pump of Pseudomonas putida, coupled to a gfp reporter. The system was introduced in P. putida DOT-T1E, a strain characterized by its ability to survive in the presence of high concentrations of diverse toxic organic compounds. This whole-cell biosensor is capable to detect a wide range of structurally diverse antibiotics, as well as compounds such as toluene or flavonoids.
