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.

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.

Abstract

objectivesPseudomonas aeruginosa is the most common pathogen in the bronchiectasis lung, associated with worsened outcomes. P. aeruginosa genomic studies in this context have been limited to single-country, European studies. We aimed to determine strain diversity, adaptation mechanisms, and AMR features to better inform treatment.

methodsP. aeruginosa from 180 bronchiectasis patients in 15 countries, obtained prior to a phase 3, randomised clinical trial (ORBIT-3), were analysed by whole-genome sequencing. Phylogenetic groups and sequence types were determined, and between versus within patient genetic diversity compared using Analysis of Molecular Variance (AMOVA). The frequency of AMR-associated genes and mutations was also determined.

resultsA total of 2854 P. aeruginosa isolates were analysed, predominantly belonging to phylogenetic group 1 (83%, n = 2359). Genetic diversity was far greater between than within patients, responsible for >99.9% of total diversity (AMOVA: phylogroup 1: df = 145, P < 0.01). Numerous pathways were under selection, some shared with CF (e.g., motility, iron acquisition), some unique to bronchiectasis (e.g., novel efflux pump PA1874). Multidrug resistance features were also frequent.

conclusionsWe present a 10-fold increase in the availability of genomic data for P. aeruginosa in bronchiectasis, highlighting key distinctions with cystic fibrosis and potential targets for future treatments.
