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

Purpose: Colistin resistance mechanisms involving mutations in chromosomal genes associated with LPS modification are not completely understood. Mutations in genes coding for the MgrB regulator frequently account for colistin resistance in Methods: Isolates were obtained in a 3-year period in a university hospital in Santiago, Chile. Susceptibility to colistin, aminoglycosides, cephalosporins, carbapenems and ciprofloxacin was determined through broth microdilution. Whole genome sequencing was performed for all isolates and chromosomal gene sequences were compared with sequences of colistin-susceptible isolates of the same sequence types. Results: None of the isolates carried Conclusion: Colistin resistance mechanisms depend on genetic background, and are due to chromosomal mutations, which implies a lower risk of transmission than plasmid-mediated genes. Colistin resistance is not associated with multidrug-resistance, nor to high-risk sequence types.
