Prevalence of genes encoding the type three secretion system and the effectors AexT and AexU in the Aeromonas veronii group.
Article in DNA and cell biology, 2009. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 15 papers.
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.
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
The prevalence of important virulence factors, the type III secretion system (T3SS) and two T3SS-dependent toxins, AexT and AexU, was evaluated in the Aeromonas veronii group (AVG). Members of the AVG have a broad host range, including vertebrates and invertebrates, and form a variety of associations, spanning from pathogenic to mutualistic. Our AVG strain collection consists of human, duck, eel, and leech isolates. These isolates were examined for the presence of the T3SS, AexT, and AexU through PCR analysis. Two loci of the T3SS, ascV and ascF-ascG, and aexT and aexU were PCR amplified and sequenced from these isolates. All 20 environmental and clinical isolates possessed the T3SS and both effectors, which indicates a much greater prevalence than reported by previous studies. Sequence analysis of the C-terminal domains of aexT and aexU revealed a much higher nucleotide substitution rate for aexU (19.7%) when compared to aexT (4%). The lack of sequence variability among aexT homologs suggests that it has a conserved function among the AVG. The increased variation of the aexU sequence suggests the presence of different alleles, which indicates that it may serve different functions.
