Assessment of antibiotic resistance from long-term bacterial exposure to antibiotics commonly used in fuel ethanol production.
Article in World journal of microbiology & biotechnology, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers.
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.
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
It is widely assumed that bacterial resistance will be acquired when bacteria are exposed to long-term sublethal concentrations of antibiotics. The objective of this study was to evaluate the ability of two bacterial strains [Lactobacillus plantarum (18A) and Lactobacillus paracasei (18C)] isolated from the fuel ethanol industry to acquire bacterial resistance during long-term (≥ 14 days) exposure to sublethal concentrations of penicillin G and virginiamycin. Neither strain acquired resistance to virginiamycin after 69 days of exposure, but both strains did acquire resistance to penicillin G after 18 days. Strain 18A appeared to acquire resistance to a penicillin G and virginiamycin mixture after 7 days of exposure, but the incubation period was not long enough to verify. These results indicate that antibiotic resistance in two common Lactobacillus strains does not develop from sublethal exposure to virginiamycin after 69 days of exposure, but resistance can be developed with sublethal exposure to penicillin G.
