Occurrence and distribution of sequence types among Legionella pneumophila strains isolated from patients in Germany: common features and differences to other regions of the world.
Article in European journal of clinical microbiology & infectious diseases : official publication of the European Society of Clinical Microbiology, 2008. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 32 papers.
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
A total of 105 unrelated clinical isolates of Legionella pneumophila were randomly selected from the German National Legionella strain collection and typed by monoclonal antibody (MAb) subgrouping and a seven-gene locus sequence-based typing (SBT) scheme. According to the case definitions of the European Working Group for Legionella Infections, 19 of the isolates tested were travel-associated, 38 were community-acquired and 48 were of nosocomial origin. Eighty-four of these strains belonged to serogroup 1, 20 belonged to other serogroups, and one isolate could not be serogrouped. The majority of strains among the travel-associated and community-acquired cases were MAb3-1-positive. The most common sequence type (1, 4, 3, 1, 1, 1, 1) was found in 20 isolates in 11 cities; other allelic profiles also found in Europe (2, 3, 9, 10, 2, 1, 6), (1, 3, 9, 10, 2, 1, 6), (2, 6, 17, 14, 13, 11, 11) and (3, 4, 1, 1, 1, 9, 1) were detected among the German isolates but at a low frequency. In contrast, some SBT are unique to Germany, including (3, 4, 1, 3, 35, 9, 11), which was found among five isolates from patients in Berlin. In concordance with European data, a significant portion of the L. pneumophila strains isolated from patients in Germany belong to clones that occur throughout the world and which are responsible for the majority of clinical cases.
