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

BALB/c mice were infected with two Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium strains, one of which lacked the virulence plasmid. Transconjugants were found at high frequencies in the mouse feces and at low frequencies in the liver and the spleen, suggesting that mating occurred in the gut. Laboratory conditions that mimic those of the small intestine (microaerophilic growth in the presence of 0.3 M NaCl) increased the frequency of virulence plasmid transfer. Sodium deoxycholate, which is found at high concentrations in the duodenum, and sodium propionate, which is abundant in the large intestine, reduced the conjugation frequency. Feces inhibited conjugation. Altogether, these observations suggested that transfer of the virulence plasmid occurred in the distal portion of the small intestine. Conjugation trials in ileal loops provided direct evidence that conjugal transfer of the Salmonella virulence plasmid occurs in the ileum in mice.
