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

The increasing number of Chromobacterium haemolyticum human infection reports, especially in tropical regions and connected with environmental sources, resulted in an urge to better describe this species. This study aimed to characterize the C. haemolyticum resistome, virulence determinants and genetic platforms related with genome plasticity. A comparative genomic analysis was conducted between clinical C. haemolyticum genomes publicly available and the genome of an environmental isolate obtained in this study. The pangenome of C. haemolyticum was calculated and a total of 3378 core genes were predicted in its core genome, corresponding to 51.7% of the pangenome. Genetic determinants putatively encoding resistance to beta-lactams, fosfomycin, aminoglycosides and trimethoprim were predicted in all genomes, possibly constituting the intrinsic resistome of this species. In terms of resistance to beta-lactams, 4 genes were predicted encoding beta-lactamases of classes A, C and D. Moreover, the analysis of Chromobacterium genomes and C. haemolyticum environmental isolates reinforced the role of this genus as progenitor of the bla
