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

Carbapenem resistance in Pseudomonas aeruginosa strains responsible for chronic lung infections in cystic fibrosis (CF) patients is mainly due to loss of the OprD protein and, limited to meropenem and doripenem, to overexpression of efflux pumps. However, recent reports of isolates showing inconsistent genotype-phenotype combinations (e.g., susceptibility in the presence of resistance determinants and vice versa) suggest the involvement of additional factors whose role is not yet fully elucidated. Among them, the OpdP porin as an alternative route of entry for carbapenems other than OprD and the overexpression of two chromosomal carbapenemases, the Pseudomonas-derived cephalosporinase (PDC) and the PoxB oxacillinase, have recently been reconsidered and studied in specific model strains. Here, the contribution of these factors was investigated by comparing different phenotypic variants of three strains collected from the sputum of colonized CF patients. Carbapenem uptake through OpdP was investigated both at the functional level, by assessing the competition exerted by glycine-glutamate, the OpdP's natural substrate, against imipenem uptake, and at the molecular level, by comparing the expression levels of
