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

Epidemic IncF plasmids have been pivotal in the selective advantage of multidrug-resistant (MDR) extraintestinal pathogenic Escherichia coli (ExPEC). These plasmids have offered several advantages to their hosts that allowed them to coevolve with the bacterial host genomes and played an integral role in the success of ExPEC. IncF plasmids are large, mosaic, and often contain various types of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) and virulence associated factor (VAF) genes. The presence of AMR, VAF genes, several addition/restriction systems combined with truncated transfer regions, led to the fixation of IncF plasmids in certain ExPEC MDR clones, such as ST131 and ST410. IncF plasmids entered the ST131 ancestral lineage in the mid 1900s and different ST131 clade/CTX-M plasmid combinations coevolved over time. The IncF_CTX-M-15/ST131-C2 subclade combination emerged during the early 2000s, spread rapidly across the globe, and is one of the greatest clone/plasmid successes of the millennium. The ST410-B3 subclade containing bla
