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

Background & objectives: Bacillary dysentery caused by Shigella spp. remains an important cause of the crisis in low-income countries. It has been observed that Shigella species have become increasingly resistant to most widely used antimicrobials. In this study, the antimicrobial resistance, virulence and plasmid profile of clinical isolates of Shigella species were determined. Methods: Sixty clinical Shigella isolates were subjected to whole-genome sequencing using Ion Torrent platform and the genome sequences were analyzed for the presence of acquired resistance genes, virulence genes and plasmids using web-based software tools. Results: Genome analysis revealed more resistance genes in Shigella flexneri than in other serogroups. Among β-lactamases, bla Interpretation & conclusions: The presence of quinolone and cephalosporin resistance genes in Shigella serogroups has serious implications for the further spread of this resistance to other enteric pathogens or commensal organisms. This suggests the need for continuous surveillance to understand the epidemiology of the resistance.
