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

In the last 2 decades, a variety of different molecular typing methods have been developed to differentiate strains of Mycobacterium avium subsp. paratuberculosis. The most successful techniques are based on insertion sequences, repetitive loci, comparative genomics, or single nucleotide polymorphisms. In the present study, we chose to examine whether a single M. avium subsp. paratuberculosis gene could serve as a means of differentiation of a variety of isolates. The MAP1506 gene locus encodes a member of the polymorphic PPE protein family that has putative roles relevant to M. avium subsp. paratuberculosis pathogenicity. The MAP1506 locus was sequenced from a collection of 58 M. avium subsp. paratuberculosis isolates from different sources, hosts, and typing profiles. Following sequence alignment and analysis, it was found that bovine (type II) strains of M. avium subsp. paratuberculosis consistently differed from ovine (type I) and intermediate (type III) strains in seven and eight nucleotides, respectively. Polymorphic regions of the MAP1506 locus were selected for analysis by denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis, allowing visual discrimination of the three subtypes of M. avium subsp. paratuberculosis isolates. This is the first report describing the use of PCR and denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis on a single gene as a method to distinguish types I, II, and III of M. avium subsp. paratuberculosis.
