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 distribution of three putative adhesin genes in 123 Shiga toxin-producing (STEC) strains was determined by PCR. The STEC strains were isolated from human patients (n=90) and food (n=33) and were characterized by serogroup, virulence markers (eae, stx(1), stx(2)) and adherence factors (efa1, lpfA(O157), saa) genes. Serogroups O157 (64.4%) and O26 (28.8%) were the most frequent among human strains and the majority (60.6%) of food strains were serologically non-typable. The adhesin genes efa1 (90%) and lpfA(O157) (73.3%) were the most common in humans strains and saa (45.5%) in food strains. The presence of these genes in addition to eae in STEC from different sources may suggest a relevant role in their pathogenesis.
