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

As genomic research continues to improve our understanding of the genetics of anthelmintic drug resistance, the revolution in DNA sequencing technologies will provide increasing opportunities for large-scale surveillance for the emergence of drug resistance. In most countries, parasite control in cattle and bison has mainly depended on pour-on macrocyclic lactone formulations resulting in widespread ivermectin resistance. Consequently, there is an increased interest in using benzimidazole drugs which have been used comparatively little in cattle and bison in recent years. This situation, together with our understanding of benzimidazole resistance genetics, provides a practical opportunity to use deep-amplicon sequencing to assess the risk of drug resistance emergence. In this paper, we use deep-amplicon sequencing to scan for those mutations in the isotype-1 β-tubulin gene previously associated with benzimidazole resistance in many trichostrongylid nematode species. We found that several of these mutations occur at low frequency in many cattle and bison parasite populations in North America, suggesting increased use of benzimidazole drugs in cattle has the potential to result in widespread emergence of resistance in multiple parasite species. This work illustrates a post-genomic approach to large-scale surveillance of early emergence of anthelmintic resistance in the field.
