Macrorestriction fingerprinting of "Streptococcus milleri" group bacteria by pulsed-field gel electrophoresis.
Article in Journal of clinical microbiology, 2000. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 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
Although isolates of the "Streptococcus milleri" group (SMG) of bacteria are regarded as members of the commensal microflora of the body, they are frequently encountered in purulent infections from a range of body sites. The genetic diversity of 91 epidemiologically unrelated SMG isolates (including 37 commensal strains and 49 disease-associated strains) was analyzed by macrorestriction fingerprinting (MF). The genomes were digested with SmaI and ApaI independently, and fragments were resolved by pulsed-field gel electrophoresis. Similarities between banding profiles were determined, and strains were clustered on this basis into dendrograms. In common with other commensal species that have been examined by MF, considerable genetic diversity was revealed. In addition, the clustering of strains tended to support the current taxonomic position of this heterogeneous group. The present study has shown that MF is a powerful tool for characterization of SMG strains and that its use is likely to be of great value in epidemiological and population genetic studies of this group of bacteria.
