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

Strains of Escherichia coli, hybridising with a DNA probe for enteroaggregative E. coli (EAggEC), were isolated from patients with infectious intestinal disease (IID) or gastro-enteritis, and healthy controls during the study of IID in England. Of 3506 cases presenting with an IID, 160 (4.6%) had faecal EAggEC as compared with 46 (1.7%) of 2772 healthy controls, 53% of EAggEC isolated from each of the 'case' and the 'control' groups adhered in a 'stacked-brick' formation. Strains from cases and controls belonged to over 39 and 14 different serogroups respectively, and approximately half of the strains isolated did not react with antisera in the current somatic antigen serotyping scheme. Forty-nine cases with EAggEC (31%) had a known history of foreign travel. Over 50% of strains isolated from cases and controls were resistant to one or more of eight antimicrobials, and antimicrobial resistance was not statistically significantly more common among cases with a known history of foreign travel (p = 0.57). These data form part of the largest investigation carried out on these organisms in the UK to date and provide the most comprehensive analysis of strains of EAggEC isolated from the general population of England.
