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

Klebsiella aerogenes is an emergent pathogen associated with outbreaks of carbapenem-resistant strains. To date, studies focusing on K. aerogenes have been small-scale and/or geographically restricted. Here, we analyzed the epidemiology, resistome, virulome, and plasmidome of this species based on 561 genomes, spanning all continents. Furthermore, we sequenced four new strains from Brazil (mostly from the Amazon region). Dozens of STs occur worldwide, but the pandemic clones ST93 and ST4 have prevailed in several countries. Almost all genomes were clinical, however, most of them did not carry ESBL or carbapenemases, instead, they carried chromosomal alterations (omp36, ampD, ampG, ampR) associated with resistance to β-lactams. Integrons were also identified, presenting gene cassettes not yet reported in this species (blaIMP, blaVIM, blaGES). Considering the virulence loci, the yersiniabactin and colibactin operons were found in the ICEKp10 element, which is disseminated in genomes of several STs, as well as an incomplete salmochelin cluster. In contrast, the aerobactin hypervirulence trait was observed only in one ST432 genome. Plasmids were common, mainly from the ColRNAI replicon, with some carrying resistance genes (mcr, blaTEM, blaNDM, blaIMP, blaKPC, blaVIM) and virulence genes (EAST1, senB). Interestingly, 172 genomes of different STs presented putative plasmids containing the colicin gene.
