Plasmid-mediated quinolone resistance (PMQR) among Enterobacteriales in Latin America: a systematic review.

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
The plasmid-mediated quinolone resistance (PMQR) genes have changed the resistance pattern to quinolones, especially among Enterobacteriales. The dissemination of these genes in Latin American countries, where the prescription of fluoroquinolones is high, has been described in several studies; however, no review of the impact of PMQR in this continent has been conducted. This review summarized current knowledge about the circulation of PMQR among Enterobacteriales in Latin American. After the search and selection, 61 articles were included in the study. Most of studies reported PMQR genes among Enterobacteriales from human (47/61, 77%) and animal (18/61, 29.5%) samples, recovered mainly in Brazil (23/61, 37.7%), Mexico (11/61, 18%), and Uruguay (7/61, 11.5%). Nine different PMQR genes (qnrA, qnrB, qnrS, qnrD, qnrE, aac-(6')-Ib-cr, oqxA, oqxB, and qepA) were found in Latin America, with aac (6')-Ib-cr (37/61, 60.6%) and qnrB (26/61, 42.6%) being the most frequently reported. Escherichia coli (40/61, 65.6%) was the species most frequently reported to carry a PMQR gene, followed by Klebsiella pneumoniae (24/61, 39.3%), Enterobacter cloacae (15/61, 24.6%), and Salmonella spp. (14/61, 22.9%). Thus, this review provides important information which might help in designing measures to control the spread of quinolone resistance determinants on this continent.
