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

Antibiotic resistance, one of the major medical threats worldwide, can be selected and induced by metals through multiple mechanisms such as co-resistance, cross-resistance, and co-regulation. Compared with co-resistance and cross-resistance which are attributed to the physically or functionally linked metal and antibiotic resistance genes, co-regulation of antibiotic resistance genes by metal-responsive regulators and pathways is much more complex and elusive. Here, we discussed the main mechanisms by which antibiotic resistance is regulated in response to metals and showed recent attempts to combat antibiotic resistance by interfering with metal-based signalling pathways. Further efforts to depict the intricate metal-based regulatory network of antibiotic resistance will provide tremendous opportunities for the discovery of novel anti-resistance targets, and blocking or rewiring the metal-based signalling pathways is emerging as a promising stratagem to reverse bacterial resistance to antibiotics and rejuvenate the efficacy of conventional antibiotics.
