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

Haemophilus parasuis is the agent responsible for causing Glässer's disease, but little is known about the pathogenic determinants of this major pig disease. Here we describe, for the pathogenic strain Nagasaki, the molecular characterization of 13 trimeric autotransporters as assessed by the presence of YadA C-terminal translocator domains which were classified into three groups. All passenger domains possess motifs and repeats characteristic of adhesins, hemagglutinins, and invasins with various centrally located copies of collagen-like repeats. This domain architecture is shared with two trimeric autotransporter proteins of H. somnus 129Pt. Genomic comparison by microarray hybridization demonstrated homologies among H. parasuis virulent strains and high divergence with respect to nonvirulent strains. Therefore, these genes were named vtaA (virulence-associated trimeric autotransporters). The sequencing of 17 homologous vtaA genes of different invasive strains highlighted an extensive mosaic structure. Based also on the presence of DNA uptake signal sequences within the vtaA genes, we propose a mechanism of evolution by which gene duplication and the accumulation of mutations and recombinations, plus the lateral gene transfer of the passenger domain, led to the diversity of this multigene family. This study provides insights to help understand the tissue colonization and invasiveness characteristic of H. parasuis pathogenic strains.
