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

Insertion sequence IS18 was detected by analysis of the spontaneous aminoglycoside resistant mutant Acinetobacter sp. 13 strain BM2716-1. Insertion of the element upstream from the silent acetyltransferase gene aac(6')-Ij created a hybrid promoter that putatively accounts for the expression of the aminoglycoside resistance gene. The 1, 074-bp IS18 element contained partially matched (20 out of 26 bases) terminal inverted repeats, one of which overlapped the 3' end of a 935-bp open reading frame potentially encoding a protein related to the transposases of the IS30 family. IS18 was found in 6 out of 29 strains of Acinetobacter sp. 13 but not in 10 strains each of A. baumannii and A. haemolyticus.
