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

background

methodsDNA sequencing was performed on the Illumina iSeq 100 platform. Genome assembly was carried out with SPAdes. The genome was annotated with RASTtk. Typing was performed with MLST and Kaptive. Antibiotic resistance genes were detected with AMRFinderPlus and Abricate, and further verified with BLAST.

resultsThe strain exhibited resistance to ceftazidime/avibactam and cefiderocol, but remained susceptible to carbapenems. The strain belonged to sequence type ST101, serotype O1:K17. The analysis of antibiotic resistance genes indicated that the strain carried a novel KPC variant, designated as KPC-203, featuring a EL deletion at amino acid position 166-167, within the Ω-loop, and a nine-amino-acid insertion (LAVYTRAPM) at position 259. Sequence alterations were found in porin genes

conclusionsKPC-203, a novel KPC variant, showed a sequence modification in a cephalosporin resistance-associated hotspot. Interestingly, such alterations typically correlate with the restoration of carbapenem susceptibility. We hypothesize that KPC-203 likely led to resistance to ceftazidime/avibactam and cefiderocol, while maintaining susceptibility to carbapenems.
