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

Commensal enteric bacteria are a required pathogenic factor in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), but the identity of the pertinent bacterial species is unresolved. Using an IBD-associated pANCA monoclonal antibody, a 100-kDa protein was recently characterized from an IBD clinical isolate of Bacteroides caccae (p2Lc3). In this study, consensus oligonucleotides were designed from 100-kDa peptides and used to identify a single-copy gene from the p2Lc3 genome. Sequence analysis of the genomic clone revealed a 2,844-bp (948 amino acid) open reading frame encoding features typical of the TonB-linked outer membrane protein family. This gene, termed ompW, was detected by Southern analysis only in B. caccae and was absent in other species of Bacteroides and gram-negative coliforms. The closest homologues of OmpW included the outer membrane proteins SusC of Bacteroides thetaiotaomicron and RagA of Porphyromonas gingivalis. Recombinant OmpW protein was immunoreactive with the monoclonal antibody, and serum anti-OmpW immunoglobulin A levels were elevated in a Crohn's disease patient subset. These findings suggest that OmpW may be a target of the IBD-associated immune response and reveal its structural relationship to a bacterial virulence factor of P. gingivalis and periodontal disease.
