Complete genome sequence of Pseudomonas sp. PK-RTE-24 isolated from lettuce.
Article in BMC research notes, 2026. 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
objectivesFresh vegetables can harbor diverse bacteria, including Pseudomonas spp. In routine diagnostics, isolates are often identified by MALDI-TOF MS, but novel or unreferenced taxa can be misidentified. Here, we report the WGS of Pseudomonas sp. strain PK-RTE-24, initially assigned by MALDI-TOF MS to a known species. The aim was to generate genomic data that clarify the taxonomic assignment of PK-RTE-24 that is not linked to any described species and to highlight the discrepancy between MALDI-TOF MS identification and WGS analysis. DATA DESCRIPTION: PK-RTE-24 was isolated from ready-to-eat lettuce during screening for extended-spectrum β-lactamase (ESBL)-producing bacteria. MALDI-TOF MS reported Pseudomonas koreensis. Using Illumina and Oxford Nanopore technologies a complete 5,847,647-bp genome, with 60.04% GC content, and encoding 5,285 predicted genes, was assembled. Phylogenomic analysis and average nucleotide identity showed that PK-RTE-24 did not match any described Pseudomonas sp. and fell below the species threshold, grouping within an environment-associated clade. Antimicrobials testing revealed β-lactams non-susceptibility, consistent with a chromosomally-encoded class C β-lactamase (AmpC) gene (1,167-bp). The 388 amino-acid protein shared 96.9% identity with an AmpC from Pseudomonas sp. RG1. The PK-RTE-24's genome sequence provides valuable data for classifying environment-associated Pseudomonas spp. and elucidating β-lactam resistance in non-clinical strains.
