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

Acidic glycerophospholipids play an important role in determining the resistance of Gram-negative bacteria to stress conditions and antibiotics. Acinetobacter baumannii, an opportunistic human pathogen which is responsible for an increasing number of nosocomial infections, exhibits broad antibiotic resistances. Here lipids of A. baumannii have been analyzed by combined MALDI-TOF/MS and TLC analyses; in addition GC-MS analyses of fatty acid methyl esters released by methanolysis of membrane phospholipids have been performed. The main glycerophospholipids are phosphatidylethanolamine, phosphatidylglycerol, acyl-phosphatidylglycerol and cardiolipin together with monolysocardiolipin, a lysophospholipid only rarely detected in bacterial membranes. The major acyl chains in the phospholipids are C16:0 and C18:1, plus minor amounts of short chain fatty acids. The structures of the cardiolipin and monolysocardiolipin have been elucidated by post source decay mass spectrometry analysis. A large variety of cardiolipin and monolysocardiolipin species were found in A. baumannii. Similar lysocardiolipin levels were found in the two clinical strains A. baumannii ATCC19606
