Chimeric nature of two plasmids of Hafnia alvei encoding the bacteriocins alveicins A and B.
Article in Journal of bacteriology, 2004. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 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
The complete nucleotide sequences of two bacteriocin-encoding plasmids isolated from Hafnia alvei (pAlvA and pAlvB) were determined. Both plasmids resemble ColE1-type replicons and carry mobilization genes, as well as colicin-like bacteriocin operons. These bacteriocins appear to be chimeras consisting of translocation domains from Tol-dependent colicins, unique binding domains, and killing and immunity domains similar to those of the pore-forming colicin Ia. Just as is found for colicin Ia, these H. alvei bacteriocins (alveicins) lack lysis genes. The alveicins are unusually small at 408 and 358 amino acids for alveicin A and B, respectively, which would make alveicin B the smallest pore-forming bacteriocin yet discovered. The pattern of nucleotide substitution in the alveicins suggests that the dominant forces in the evolution of their killing domains and immunity genes are neutral mutation and random genetic drift rather than diversifying selection, which has been implicated in the evolution of other colicins. Five of six bacteriocinogenic isolates of H. alvei were found to carry plasmids identical to pAlvA. Comparisons of the levels of nucleotide divergence in five housekeeping genes to the levels of divergence in their respective plasmids led us to conclude that pAlvA is transferring laterally through the H. alvei population relatively rapidly.
