Common non-antibiotic drugs enhance selection for antimicrobial resistance in mixture with ciprofloxacin.

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
Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a major health concern, and a range of antibiotic and non-antibiotic agents can select for AMR across a range of concentrations. Selection for AMR is often investigated using single compounds, however, in the natural environment and the human body, pharmaceuticals will be present as mixtures, including both non-antibiotic drugs (NADs), and antibiotics. Here, we assessed the effects of one of three NADs in combination with ciprofloxacin, a commonly used antibiotic that is often found at concentrations in global freshwaters sufficiently high to select for AMR. We used a combination of growth assays and qPCR to determine selective concentrations of mixtures and used metagenome sequencing to identify changes to the resistome and community composition. The addition of the three NADs to ciprofloxacin altered the selection dynamics for
