Genomic characterization of multidrug-resistant Escherichia coli isolated from gills of Labeo rohita: Insight into resistome, virulence and pathogenicity.
Article in PloS one, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Antibiotic resistance in aquaculture settings is an emerging issue that threatens animal and human health. In this work, a multidrug-resistant (MDR) Escherichia coli strain (RG3) was isolated from the gill of Labeo rohita obtained from a retail fish market in Punjab, India. Antimicrobial susceptibility testing revealed resistance to various antibiotic groups, with intermediate susceptibility to imipenem. Whole-genome sequencing produced a 3.70 Mb draft genome with 3,814 genes and 39 resistance determinants. Genome analysis identified a chromosomally encoded multidrug resistance phenotype, including β-lactam resistance and efflux-mediated mechanisms, together with virulence factors associated with iron acquisition, biofilm formation, and host colonization. No plasmids were predicted in the short-read assembly. Genome-based prediction suggested a high likelihood of human pathogenicity and assigned the isolate to sequence type ST8020. This study aimed to characterize an MDR E. coli from an aquaculture source using phenotypic and genomic approaches. The identification of a chromosomally encoded resistome together with virulence-associated traits highlights the potential of aquaculture-derived E. coli to act as reservoirs of antimicrobial resistance within a one health framework.
