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

Introduction: The emergence of multidrug-resistant Methods: In this study, the RT strains were induced by gradient gentamicin, and the RT strains were selected by detecting the expression levels of efflux pump genes, porin genes, and biofilm formation genes of the strains combined with their effects on the cells. Then the effects of four antimicrobial peptides on the efflux pump activity, biofilm formation level and cell condition after infection were detected to explore the effects of antimicrobial peptides on RT strains. Finally, the RT strain was used to induce a mouse model of pneumonia, and the four antimicrobial peptides were used to treat pneumonia mice for in vivo experiments. The pathological changes in lung tissues in each group were detected to explore the antimicrobial peptide with the most significant effect on the RT strain in vivo. Results: The results showed that the minimal inhibitory concentrations of the RT strains (strain C and strain I) were significantly higher than those of the wild-type strain, and the expression of efflux pump, porin and biofilm formation genes was significantly increased. The antimicrobial peptides could effectively inhibit the biofilm formation and efflux pump protein function of the RT strains. In addition, the antimicrobial peptides showed promising antibacterial effects both in vitro and Discussion: Our study provided a theoretical basis for the treatment of gentamicin resistant
