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

Burkholderia pseudomallei is the causative agent of melioidosis, an overwhelming, rapidly fatal septic infection, and B. thailandensis is a closely related, less virulent species. Both organisms are naturally competent for DNA transformation, and this report describes a procedure exploiting this property for the rapid generation of marked deletion mutations by using PCR products. The method was employed to create 61 mutant strains. Several selectable elements were employed, including elements carrying loxP and FRT recombinase recognition sites to facilitate resistance marker excision. Chromosomal mutations could also be transferred readily between strains by transformation. The availability of simple procedures for creating defined chromosomal mutations and moving them between strains should facilitate genetic analysis of virulence and other traits of these two Burkholderia species.
