Issues beyond resistance: inadequate antibiotic therapy and bacterial hypervirulence.
Review in FEMS microbes, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
The administration of antibiotics while critical for treatment, can be accompanied by potentially severe complications. These include toxicities associated with the drugs themselves, the selection of resistant organisms and depletion of endogenous host microbiota. In addition, antibiotics may be associated with less well-recognized complications arising through changes in the pathogens themselves. Growing evidence suggests that organisms exposed to antibiotics can respond by altering the expression of toxins, invasins and adhesins, as well as biofilm, resistance and persistence factors. The clinical significance of these changes continues to be explored; however, it is possible that treatment with antibiotics may inadvertently precipitate a worsening of the clinical course of disease. Efforts are needed to adjust or augment antibiotic therapy to prevent the transition of pathogens to hypervirulent states. Better understanding the role of antibiotic-microbe interactions and how these can influence disease course is critical given the implications on prescription guidelines and antimicrobial stewardship policies.
