Diversity and distribution of Escherichia coli genotypes and antibiotic resistance phenotypes in feces of humans, cattle, and horses.
Article in Applied and environmental microbiology, 2006. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 45 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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 is the most completely characterized prokaryotic model organism and one of the dominant indicator organisms for food and water quality testing, yet comparatively little is known about the structure of E. coli populations in their various hosts. The diversities of E. coli populations isolated from the feces of three host species (human, cow, and horse) were compared by two subtyping methods: ribotyping (using HindIII) and antibiotic resistance analysis (ARA). The sampling effort required to obtain a representative sample differed by host species, as E. coli diversity was consistently greatest in horses, followed by cattle, and was lowest in humans. The diversity of antibiotic resistance patterns isolated from individuals was consistently greater than the diversity of ribotypes. E. coli populations in individuals sampled monthly, over a 7- to 8-month period, were highly variable in terms of both ribotypes and ARA phenotypes. In contrast, E. coli populations in cattle and humans were stable over an 8-h period. Following the cessation of antibiotic therapy, the E. coli population in the feces of one human experienced a rapid and substantial shift, from a multiply antibiotic-resistant phenotype associated with a particular ribotype to a relatively antibiotic-susceptible phenotype associated with a different ribotype. The high genetic diversity of E. coli populations, differences in diversity among hosts, and temporal variability all indicate complex population dynamics that influence the usefulness of E. coli as a water quality indicator and its use in microbial source tracking studies.
