Horizontal transfer of a plasmid possessing mcr-1 marked with a single nucleotide mutation between Escherichia coli isolates from community residents.
Article in BMC research notes, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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.
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
objectivesThe widespread dissemination of phenotypic colistin-resistant (COR) bacteria in the community threatens public health. The horizontal gene transfer of the mobile colistin resistance gene via plasmids is thought to be one of the main mechanisms for dissemination. However, genotypic evidence to prove this in community settings is limited. This study used genome analysis to demonstrate the direct horizontal colistin resistance gene transfer via plasmids in isolates from the community.
resultsA total of 19 isolates of COR Escherichia coli from stool specimens of 23 residents from seven households in the Vietnamese community were assessed in this study. The whole-genome sequence data of isolates were acquired using a combination of DNBSEQ short-reads and Nanopore long-read sequencing. Analysis of genomic data was performed using online tools such as Geneious. Analysis of the genomic information of COR E. coli isolates revealed that the isolates from two residents of different households had a similar IncP1 plasmid possessing mcr-1.1, marked with a single nucleotide mutation at the same position. The study provided direct evidence to prove that mcr was horizontally transmitted among bacteria in community residents.
