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 structural gene coding for YompC has been identified in the genome of a pathogenic strain of Yersinia enterocolitica O:9, and was subsequently cloned and sequenced. Detailed alignment of the deduced amino acid sequence showed that YompC is a member of the OmpC porin family with the highest degree of homology to Klebsiella pneumoniae. The mutant lacking YompC porin was constructed by insertional inactivation of the yompC gene which resulted from the integration of suicide vector at the yompC locus. In intact cells of Y. enterocolitica, loss of the YompC protein reduced the outer membrane permeability for beta-lactam antibiotics and tetracycline and resulted in a 2-5-fold increase in resistance to these compounds, depending on their chemical properties. Mutation in the ompR regulatory gene resulted in the loss of both YompC and YompF porins, which led to a greater increase of resistance to antibiotics, as compared with the YompC mutant strain. Moreover, the binding assay with HEp-2 cells suggests that YompC may play a role in the adhesion properties of Y. enterocolitica strains.
