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 O 174 and O 177 are newly described O serogroups which were reported as human pathogens. Identification of these strains by serotyping has been restricted, as the required sera are not commercially available. In this study, a collection of 13 E. coli O 174 strains and 12 E. coli O 177 strains was studied on the O:H serotypes and virulence markers. The O-antigen gene clusters of E. coli O 174 and O 177 were sequenced, and associated genes were assigned functions on the basis of homology. Two genes, each specific for E. coli O 174 and O 177, were identified. PCR assays based on the O-antigen-specific genes were developed and tested on 25 clinical and environmental isolates of those two serogroups as well as 26 isolates of other O serogroups. As little as 1 pg per mul of chromosomal DNA and as few as 0.1 CFU per g of pork and water samples were detected for either strain. The PCR assays established in this study were shown to be highly sensitive and reliable and could be the method of choice for detection of these two human pathogens from clinical, food, and other environmental samples.
