Cephalosporin translocation across enterobacterial OmpF and OmpC channels, a filter across the outer membrane.
Article in Communications biology, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 30 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
Gram-negative porins are the main entry for small hydrophilic molecules. We studied translocation of structurally related cephalosporins, ceftazidime (CAZ), cefotaxime (CTX) and cefepime (FEP). CAZ is highly active on E. coli producing OmpF (Outer membrane protein F) but less efficient on cells expressing OmpC (Outer membrane protein C), whereas FEP and CTX kill bacteria regardless of the porin expressed. This matches with the different capacity of CAZ and FEP to accumulate into bacterial cells as quantified by LC-MS/MS (Liquid Chromatography Tandem Mass Spectrometry). Furthermore, porin reconstitution into planar lipid bilayer and zero current assays suggest permeation of ≈1,000 molecules of CAZ per sec and per channel through OmpF versus ≈500 through OmpC. Here, the instant killing is directly correlated to internal drug concentration. We propose that the net negative charge of CAZ represents a key advantage for permeation through OmpF porins that are less cation-selective than OmpC. These data could explain the decreased susceptibility to some cephalosporins of enterobacteria that exclusively express OmpC porins.
