Addition of neuA, the gene encoding N-acylneuraminate cytidylyl transferase, increases the discriminatory ability of the consensus sequence-based scheme for typing Legionella pneumophila serogroup 1 strains.

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 standard sequence-based method for the typing of Legionella pneumophila serogroup 1 strains was extended by using the gspA and neuA alleles. The use of neuA as a seventh allele for typing significantly increased the index of discrimination calculated for a panel of unrelated strains (from 0.932 to 0.963) and subdivided some known large common complexes (e.g., 1,4,3,1,1,1). This modification to the standard method is proposed as the method of choice in the epidemiological investigation of L. pneumophila infections.
