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 genetic diversity of Vibrio cholerae O1 strains from Argentina was estimated by random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) analysis and pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE). Twenty-nine isolates carrying the virulence genes ctxA, zot, ace, and tcpA appeared to represent a single clone by both typing methods; while 11 strains lacking these virulence genes exhibited several heterogeneous RAPD and PFGE patterns. Among the last group, a set of isolates from the province Tucumán showed a single RAPD pattern and four closely related PFGE profiles. These strains, isolated from patients with diarrhea, did not produce the major V. cholerae O1 virulence determinants, yet cell supernatants of these isolates caused a heat-labile cytotoxic effect on Vero and Y-1 cells and elicited significant variations on the water flux and short-circuit current in human small intestine mounted in an Ussing chamber. All these effects were completely abolished by incubation with a specific antiserum against El Tor hemolysin, suggesting that this virulence factor was responsible for the toxic activity on both the epithelial cells and the small intestine specimens and may hence be involved in the development of diarrhea. We propose "Tucumán variant" as the designation for this new cluster of cholera toxin-negative V. cholerae O1 strains.
