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

Bacteria frequently encounter selection by both phages and antibiotics. However, our knowledge on the evolutionary interactions between phages and antibiotics are still limited. Here, we characterized a phage-resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa variant PAO1-R1 that shows increased sensitivity to gentamicin and polymyxin B. Using whole genome sequencing, significant genome differences were observed between the reference P. aeruginosa PAO1 and PAO1-R1. Compared to PAO1, 64 gene-encoding proteins with nonsynonymous single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and 31 genes with insertion/deletion (indel) mutations were found in PAO1-R1. We observed a significant reduction in phage adsorption rate for both phage vB_Pae_QDWS and vB_Pae_W3 against PAO1-R1 and proposed that disruption of phage adsorption is likely the main cause for evolving resistance. Because the majority of spontaneous mutations are closely related to membrane components, alterations in the cell envelope may explain the antibiotic-sensitive phenotype of PAO1-R1. Collectively, we demonstrate that the evolution of phage resistance comes with fitness defects resulting in antibiotic sensitization. Our finding provides new insights into the evolutionary interactions between resistance to the phage and sensitivity to antibiotics, which may have implications for the future clinical use of steering in phage therapies.
