Isolation of Bacteroides fragilis mutants with in vivo growth defects by using Tn4400', a modified Tn4400 transposition system, and a new screening method.
Article in Infection and immunity, 2000. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 15 papers.
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
A modified version of the Bacteroides fragilis transposon Tn4400, designated Tn4400', enabling rapid isolation and analysis of B. fragilis mutants has been constructed. To identify potential virulence factors, Tn4400'-generated mutants were screened by a new method; this resulted in the isolation of 21 mutant strains with impaired growth characteristics on tissue culture monolayers but normal growth in rich medium anaerobically.
