An Overview of the Genetic Mechanisms of Colistin-Resistance in Bacterial Pathogens: An Indian Perspective.
Review in Cureus, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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.
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
Colistin resistance in bacteria is a growing global issue, given its role as a critical last-resort antibiotic, particularly for treating Gram-negative bacterial infections. Pathogens adopt multiple resistance mechanisms, mediated either by plasmids or chromosomal changes. Some of the most frequently observed strategies include the occurrence of plasmid-borne mobile colistin resistance (mcr) genes, enhanced efflux pump activity, mutations in the regulatory systems, and alterations in the lipid A structure. This article provides an overview of the studies investigating the genetic mechanisms underlying colistin resistance in nosocomial Gram-negative bacteria from India. A total of 37 studies were identified through online searches across various databases, including PubMed, ScienceDirect, and Web of Science. These studies were reviewed to examine bacterial species and their mechanisms of colistin resistance. Over 26 (70.27%) studies were focused on
