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

The major facilitator superfamily (MFS) of proteins constitutes a large group of related solute transporters found across all known living taxa of organisms. The transporters of the MFS contain an extremely diverse array of substrates, including ions, molecules of intermediary metabolism, and structurally different antimicrobial agents. First discovered over 30 years ago, the MFS represents an important collection of integral membrane transporters. Bacterial microorganisms expressing multidrug efflux pumps belonging to the MFS are considered serious pathogens, accounting for alarming morbidity and mortality numbers annually. This review article considers recent advances in the structure-function relationships, the transport mechanism, and modulation of MFS multidrug efflux pumps within the context of drug resistance mechanisms of bacterial pathogens of public health concerns.
