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

The global dissemination of multidrug-resistant (MDR) bacteria is not merely a clinical byproduct of antibiotic overuse, but an evolutionary transition driven by highly successful, human-adapted clonal lineages. While MDR phenotypes are frequently associated with resistance to various drug classes, FQR-mediated by specific mutations in the Quinolone Resistance-Determining Regions (QRDR) of the chromosomal GyrA and ParC genes-stands out as a primary driver of clonal success. Contrary to the traditional "fitness cost" paradigm of antibiotic resistance, recent evidence suggests long-term commensal colonization of healthy individuals by MDR bacteria even in environments devoid of recent antibiotic use. This review analyzes the literature supporting the role of certain QRDR mutations in the commensal carriage of
