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

Flavophospholipol (FPL) is an antimicrobial feed additive that has been approved for use in livestock animals and has the potential to decrease horizontal dissemination of antimicrobial resistance genes. Since previous studies showed that FPL has an inhibitory effect on plasmid transfer, in vitro experiments have proven the efficacy of FPL in reducing the conjugative transfer of plasmids encoding the extended-spectrum β-lactamase (ESBL) and vanA genes. These are among the most important antimicrobial resistance loci known. ESBL-producing Escherichia coli and vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus faecalis (VRE) were exposed to several concentrations of FPL, and transfer frequency and plasmid curing activity were determined. FPL inhibited the conjugative transfer of plasmids harboring ESBL and vanA genes in a concentration-dependent manner in all strains. Further transfer experiments revealed that FPL could decrease or increase transfer frequency depending on plasmid type when transfer frequency was at low levels. The plasmid curing activity of FPL was also observed in ESBL-producing E. coli in a concentration-dependent manner, suggesting that they partially contribute to the inhibition of conjugative transfer. These results suggest that the use of FPL as a feed additive might decrease the dissemination of ESBL and vanA genes among livestock animals.
