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

The subtilase cytotoxin (SubAB) is an AB(5) toxin described in certain Shiga toxin (Stx)-producing Escherichia coli (STEC) strains that usually lack the locus for enterocyte effacement (LEE). We report for the first time the production of SubAB by two Stx-negative E. coli strains, isolated from unrelated cases of childhood diarrhea. The characterization of the SubAB-coding genes showed a 90% nucleotide sequence similarity with that of the prototype subAB, located on the virulence plasmid of the STEC O113 strain 98NK2 (pO113). In both strains, subAB was physically associated with tia, an invasion genetic determinant of enterotoxigenic E. coli. The strains were negative for the saa gene, encoding an adhesin located on pO113 and present in many of the SubAB-positive strains described so far. PCR screening of 61 STEC and 100 Stx-negative E. coli strains in our collection revealed the presence of subAB in five LEE-negative STEC strains but not in the Stx-negative strains. subAB was contiguous to tia in three of the positive strains, which were all negative for saa. These results indicate that SubAB production is not restricted to STEC and suggest that a subAB-tia putative pathogenicity island is involved in the dissemination of subAB genes, as an alternative to plasmid pO113.
