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 pathogenicity island termed the locus of enterocyte effacement (LEE) is found in diverse attaching and effacing pathogens associated with diarrhea in humans and other animal species. To explore the relation of variation in LEE sequences to host specificity and genetic lineage, we determined the nucleotide sequence of the LEE region from a rabbit diarrheagenic Escherichia coli strain RDEC-1 (O15:H-) and compared it with those from human enteropathogenic E. coli (EPEC, O127:H6) and enterohemorrhagic E. coli (EHEC, O157:H7) strains. Differing from EPEC and EHEC LEEs, the RDEC-1 LEE is not inserted at selC and is flanked by an IS2 element and the lifA toxin gene. The RDEC-1 LEE contains a core region of 40 open reading frames, all of which are shared with the LEE of EPEC and EHEC. orf3 and the ERIC (enteric repetitive intergenic consensus) sequence present in the LEEs of EHEC and EPEC are absent from the RDEC-1 LEE. The predicted promoters of LEE1, LEE2, LEE3, tir, and LEE4 operons are highly conserved among the LEEs, although the upstream regions varied considerably for tir and the crucial LEE1 promoter, suggesting differences in regulation. Among the shared genes, high homology (>95% identity) between the RDEC-1 and the EPEC and EHEC LEEs at the predicted amino acid level was observed for the components of the type III secretion apparatus, the Ces chaperones, and the Ler regulator. In contrast, more divergence (66 to 88% identity) was observed in genes encoding proteins involved in host interaction, such as intimin (Eae) and the secreted proteins (Tir and Esps). A comparison of the highly variable genes from RDEC-1 with those from a number of attaching and effacing pathogens infecting different species and of different evolutionary lineages was performed. Although RDEC-1 diverges from some human-infecting EPEC and EHEC, most of the variation observed appeared to be due to evolutionary lineage rather than host specificity. Therefore, much of the observed hypervariability in genes involved in pathogenesis may not represent specific adaptation to different host species.
