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

Foodborne infections caused by drug-resistant Salmonella spp. are a global health concern. Moreover, commensal Escherichia coli is considered risky due to the presence of antimicrobial resistance genes. Colistin is considered a last-resort antibiotic against Gram-negative bacterial infections. Colistin resistance can be transferred both vertically, and horizontally via conjugation between bacterial species. Plasmid-mediated resistance has been associated with mcr-1 to mcr-10 genes. In this study, we collected food samples (n = 238), and isolated E. coli (n = 36) and Salmonella (n = 16), representing recent isolates. We included previously collected Salmonella (n = 197) and E. coli (n = 56) from various sources from 2010 to 2015 in Türkiye as representing historical isolates to investigate colistin-resistance over time. In all isolates, colistin resistance was screened phenotypically by minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC), and then in resistant isolates, mcr-1 to mcr-5 genes were further screened. In addition, the antibiotic resistance of recent isolates was determined, and antibiotic resistance genes were investigated. We found that in total 20 Salmonella isolates (9.38%) and 23 of the E. coli isolates (25%) showed phenotypic colistin resistance. Interestingly, the majority of colistin-resistant isolates (N:32) had resistance levels above 128 mg/L. Furthermore 75% of commensal E. coli isolates recently isolated were resistant at least 3 antibiotics. Overall, we found that the colistin resistance has been increased from 8.12 to 25% in Salmonella isolates, and 7.14% to 52.8% in E. coli isolates over time. However, none of these resistant isolates carried mcr genes, most likely indicating emerging chromosomal colistin resistance.
