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

Antibiotics are used to treat severe bacterial infections. However, owing to excessive antibiotic use, bacteria under high selective pressure for antibiotics develop resistance through spontaneous mutation or by acquiring antibiotic-resistance genes (ARGs) through horizontal gene transfer (HGT). Horizontal transfer of ARGs among bacteria in the environment can lead to the emergence of multidrug-resistant (MDR) bacteria that infect animals and humans, thus causing disease outbreaks. In this study, MDR strain FN1 was isolated from a feces-contaminated soil sample from a chicken farm under pressure from the antibiotic florfenicol (16 mg/L) and identified as Aeromonas salmonicida. Whole-genome sequencing and analysis revealed the 86.8-kb antibiotic-resistant genomic island, GEI-FN1A, in the FN1 genome. Genome annotation revealed that GEI-FN1A carried several ARGs, including two tetracycline-resistance genes [tetR and tet(A)], three aminoglycoside-resistance genes [aph(6), aph(3"), and aac(3)], one trimethoprim-resistance gene (dfrB4), two chloramphenicol/florfenicol-resistance genes (catB3 and floR), three macrolide-resistance genes [mphR(A), mrx(A), and mph(A)] and two sul1 genes. GEI-FN1A also contained genes encoding integrase, transposase, and recombinase, which mediate the horizontal transfer of MDR genes. These findings suggest that GEI-FN1A in A. salmonicida FN1 can potentially spread ARGs among environmental bacteria.
