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

A320, isolated in the Netherlands in 1982 and also known as RUH134, is the earliest available multiply antibiotic-resistant (MAR) Acinetobacter baumannii isolate belonging to global clone 2 (GC2) and is the reference strain for this clone. The draft genome sequence of A320 was used to investigate the original location and configuration of the IS26-bounded AbGRI2 resistance island found in current GC2 isolates. PCR mapping and sequencing were used to order contigs composing the resistance islands. A320 contains two IS26-bounded resistance islands, AbGRI2-0a and AbGRI2-0b, of 7.8 kb and 25.4 kb, respectively. Together they contain blaTEM, aacC1, aadA1, sul1, catA1, and aphA1b genes, which confer resistance to antibiotics used clinically in the 1970s, as well as an incomplete mercury resistance module. Tracking the continuity of the chromosome and the target site duplications revealed that the two resistance islands were originally together as AbGRI2-0, an island of 32.4 kb, and were subsequently separated via an IS26-mediated intramolecular inversion that reversed the orientation of 1.54 Mb of the chromosome and duplicated an IS26. A320 contains an ancestral form of AbGRI2, and the original insertion site of the AbGRI2 island was identified. Many of the AbGRI2 versions present in the completed GC2 genomes can be derived from it via the variant AbGRI2-1. IS26-mediated inversions have also played a part in forming AbGRI2-0, and, upon reversal, large regions of AbGRI2-0 are identical to parts of AbaR0, the ancestral version of the AbaR islands present in GC1 isolates. This indicates a common source.
