Evidence for lateral transfer of the Suilysin gene region of Streptococcus suis.
Article in Journal of bacteriology, 2002. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Suilysin is a cholesterol-binding cytolysin encoded by sly in Streptococcus suis. DNA sequence determination of the sly locus in a strain lacking sly revealed the presence of another gene, designated orf102, in the place of sly. No transposable element or long-repeat sequence was found in the close vicinity. Except for six strains whose corresponding loci have been rearranged, all of the remaining 62 strains examined had either sly or orf102 at the same locus and their flanking regions were conserved. The genetic organizations having either sly or orf102 were found in the strains whose 16S rRNA sequences were identical. These results suggest that S. suis acquired sly or orf102 from a foreign source and that these genes subsequently spread among S. suis strains by homologous recombination.
