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

Analysis of ISCR8 (ISPps1) revealed that this group of insertion elements has to be subdivided into three subgroups: ISCR8, ISCR22, and ISCR23. The distinction of three subgroups is supported by phylogenetic analysis of the transposase open reading frames (ORFs). Comparison of over 20 complete and partial ISCR8/22/23 elements identified oriIS candidate sequences for all groups and a terIS candidate sequence for ISCR8. The oriIS sequences, their distance to the transposase ORFs, and the sequence of this intervening region are group specific, further supporting the definition of two new ISCR elements. ISCR8/22/23 have a very broad host range, including Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria, among which are several (opportunistic) pathogens. The IS often resides on plasmids or in the vicinity of other mobile elements and is mostly associated with genes for the degradation of halo- or nitro-aromatics. However, in one case ISCR8 was found in the neighborhood of an antibiotic resistance determinant in Klebsiella pneumoniae. ISCR8 resembles other IS91 family elements in mediating genetic rearrangements by homologous recombination between two copies. In Delftia acidovorans this led to the loss of the genes encoding dichlorprop cleavage. In conclusion, this study shows that ISCR8 could be a fully functional and active member of the IS91 family of insertion elements.
