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

Serratia marcescens, a member of the order Enterobacterales, is adept at colonizing health care environments and is an important cause of invasive infections. Antibiotic resistance is a daunting problem in S. marcescens because, in addition to plasmid-mediated mechanisms, most isolates have considerable intrinsic resistance to multiple antibiotic classes. To discover endogenous modifiers of antibiotic susceptibility in S. marcescens, a high-density transposon insertion library was subjected to sub-MICs of two cephalosporins, cefoxitin, and cefepime, as well as the fluoroquinolone ciprofloxacin. Comparisons of transposon insertion abundance before and after antibiotic exposure identified hundreds of potential modifiers of susceptibility to these agents. Using single-gene deletions, we validated several candidate modifiers of cefoxitin susceptibility and chose
