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

Mutations extended the host range of the polyvalent bacteriophage 812 of the family Myoviridae in up to 95 % of Staphylococcus aureus strains and 43 % of strains of different coagulase-positive and -negative Staphylococcus species. Mutational changes in the genome of several host-range mutants of phage 812 were identified. Host-range mutant 812F1 harbors a deletion in endolysin gene that arose together with intron excision. Four mutants (812i, 812b, 812p, 812F3) harbor deletion in the structural gene orf8 that results from a genome rearrangement associated with intron insertion. This rearrangement was also detected in the genome of the closely related phages U16 and phi131. Another intron was discovered in the recA812 gene in these four mutants. An insertion was found in a non-coding region of the restriction fragment PstI-O of three mutants (812b, 812F3, 812g) and phages U16 and phi131. The above results contribute to the explanation of genetic factors affecting the host range of polyvalent staphylococcal bacteriophages.
