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

Recent years have witnessed an increased prevalence of intrinsic and acquired beta-lactamase-producing bacteria, severely limiting human and veterinary medicine therapeutic options. The present study aimed to design specific oligonucleotides for rapid PCR detection of the cephalosporinase-encoding gene blaEC (BlaEC family class C beta-lactamase). A total of three primers were designed to detect 2281 variants of the blaEC gene and two sets of primer pairs were also tested against DNA from 11 strains. The study indicates that the proposed primers should be able to detect 100% of all described blaEC genes in different bacterial strains and monitor their spread. After comparing the amino acid sequences, a phylogenetic tree was created based on the presence of conserved amino acids and homologous motifs. More than 24 760 mutations in BlaEC enzymes have been identified. The mutations involving 371 amino acid positions and these hotspots can change the structure and activity of the monitored enzymes. We predicted several BlaEC enzymes with a broadened substrate activity against higher-generation cephalosporins.
