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

Carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae (CRKP) is a globally disseminated pathogen of significant public health concern. Mobile genetic elements, including prophages, frequently drive their multidrug resistance and virulence. However, the contribution of prophages to the genetic landscape of food-derived CRKP remains poorly characterized. The study aimed to characterize the diversity, genetic features, and evolutionary relationships of prophages in CRKP isolates recovered from animal-derived food sources, and to evaluate their potential role in disseminating antimicrobial resistance (AMR) and virulence within the food chain. Whole-genome sequencing was performed on 23 CRKP isolates obtained from foods of animal origin in Egypt. Prophage mining and annotation were conducted to identify and classify prophage elements, detect resistance-and virulence-associated genes, and assess evolutionary relationships through phylogenetic analysis. Eighteen intact prophages were classified as members of the class Caudoviricetes. Based on structural protein analysis, 61.11% exhibited a Siphovirus-morphotype (long, non-contractile tails), while 38.88% were identified as Peduoviridae/Myovirus-morphotype (contractile tails).
