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

Antibiotic resistance is nowadays a major public health issue. Rapid antimicrobial susceptibility tests (AST) are one of the options to fight this deadly threat. Performing AST with single-cell sensitivity that is rapid, cheap, and widely accessible, is challenging. Recent studies demonstrated that monitoring bacterial nanomotion by using atomic force microscopy (AFM) upon exposure to antibiotics constitutes a rapid and highly efficient AST. Here, we present a nanomotion detection method based on optical microscopy for testing bacterial viability. This novel technique only requires a very basic microfluidic analysis chamber, and an optical microscope equipped with a camera or a mobile phone. No attachment of the microorganisms is needed, nor are specific bacterial stains or markers. This single-cell technique was successfully tested to obtain AST for motile, nonmotile, gram-positive, and gram-negative bacteria. The simplicity and efficiency of the method make it a game-changer in the field of rapid AST.
