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: Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a major public health threat, driving the need for alternative treatments such as phage therapy. However, bacterial defense mechanisms, often regulated by the quorum sensing (QS) network and encoded in genomic islands (GIs), can generate phage-resistant mutants. Understanding these resistance mechanisms is essential for optimizing phage therapy. Methods: This study analyzed 48 Results: A total of 309 pathogenicity islands (PAIs), containing 22.1% of anti-phage defense (APD) proteins, were identified. Type I and II CBASS APD systems were also detected in the genome of the 48, Discussion: The study findings highlight the regulatory role of the QS network in APD systems. Notably, this is the first study to develop an innovative biotechnological application for the LAMP-CRISPR-Cas13a rapid-technique (<2 h), thereby helping to optimize phage therapy by detecting bacterial resistance mechanisms and predicting the potential inefficacy of therapeutic phages and thus improving patient prognosis.
