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 ibeA gene is located on a genomic island, GimA, which is involved in the pathogenesis of neonatal meningitis Escherichia coli (NMEC) and avian pathogenic E. coli (APEC). The prevalence of ibeA in the APEC collection in China was investigated, and 20 of 467 strains (4.3%) were positive. In addition, analysis of the association of the E. coli reference (ECOR) groups with positive strains revealed that ibeA was linked to group B2. The ibeA gene in DE205B was analyzed and compared to those of APEC and NMEC, which indicated that the specificity of ibeA was not consistent along pathotypes. The invasion of chicken embryo fibroblast DF-1 cells by APEC DE205B and RS218 was observed, which suggested that DF-1 cells could be a model to study the mechanism of APEC invasion. The inactivation of ibeA in APEC DE205B led to the reduced capacity to invade DF-1 cells, defective virulence in vivo, and decreased biofilm formation compared to the wild-type strain. In addition, strain AAEC189 expressing ibeA exhibited enhanced invasion capacity and biofilm formation. The results of the quantitative real-time reverse transcription-PCR (qRT-PCR) analysis and animal system infection experiments indicated that the loss of ibeA decreased the colonization and proliferation capacities of APEC in the brain during system infection.
