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

Klebsiella pneumoniae, an opportunistic pathogen found in the environment and human mucosal surfaces, is a leading cause of nosocomial infections. K. pneumoniae is now considered a global threat owing to the emergence of multidrug-resistant strains making its infections untreatable. In this study, 254 strains of K. pneumoniae were screened for the presence of prophages using the PHASTER tool. Very few strains lacked prophages (3.1%), while the remaining harboured both intact (811) and defective prophages (709). A subset of 42 unique strains of K. pneumoniae was chosen for further analysis. Our analysis revealed the presence of 110 complete prophages which were further classified as belonging to Myoviridae (67.3%), Siphoviridae (28.2%) and Podoviridae family (4.5%). An alignment of the 110 complete, prophage genome sequences clustered the prophages into 16 groups and 3 singletons. While none of the prophages encoded for virulence factors, 2 (1.8%) prophages were seen to encode for the antibiotic resistance-related genes. The CRISPR-Cas system was prevalent in 10 (23.8%) out of the 42 strains. Further analysis of the CRISPR spacers revealed 11.42% of the total spacers integrated in K. pneumoniae chromosome to match prophage protein sequences.
