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

Multidrug resistance (MDR) plasmids drive the spread of antibiotic resistance between bacterial lineages. The immediate impact of MDR plasmid acquisition on fitness and cellular processes varies among bacterial lineages, but how the evolutionary processes enabling the genomic integration of MDR plasmids vary is less well understood, particularly in clinical pathogens. Using diverse Escherichia coli lineages experimentally evolved for ~700 generations, we show that the evolutionary response to gaining the MDR plasmid pLL35 was dominated by chromosomal mutations affecting metabolic and regulatory functions, with both strain-specific and shared mutational targets. The expression of several of these functions, such as anaerobic metabolism, is known to be altered upon acquisition of pLL35. Interactions with resident mobile genetic elements, notably several IS-elements, potentiated parallel mutations, including insertions upstream of
