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

Escherichia coli is a diverse bacterial species that comprises commensal nonpathogenic strains such as E. coli K-12 and pathogenic strains that cause a variety of diseases in different host species. Avian pathogenic E. coli strain chi7122 (O78:K80:H9) was used in a chicken infection model to identify bacterial genes that are expressed in infected tissues. By using the cDNA selection method of selective capture of transcribed sequences and enrichment for the isolation of pathogen-specific (non-E. coli K-12) transcripts, pathogen-specific cDNAs were identified. Pathogen-specific transcripts corresponded to putative adhesins, lipopolysaccharide core synthesis, iron-responsive, plasmid- and phage-encoded genes, and genes of unknown function. Specific deletion of the aerobactin siderophore system and E. coli iro locus, which were identified by selective capture of transcribed sequences, demonstrated that these pathogen-specific systems contribute to the virulence of strain chi7122. Consecutive blocking to enrich for selection of pathogen-specific genes did not completely eliminate the presence of transcripts that corresponded to sequences also present in E. coli K-12. These E. coli conserved genes are likely to be highly expressed in vivo and contribute to growth or virulence. Overall, the approach we have used simultaneously provided a means to identify novel pathogen-specific genes expressed in vivo and insight regarding the global gene expression and physiology of a pathogenic E. coli strain in a natural animal host during the infectious process.
