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 areas of the pathogenicity island (PAI) designated as 'colonization region' (CR) and 'toxicogenic region' (TR) [Lerat et al. (2009) Mol. Plant Pathol. 10, 579-585] contain genes required for virulence and phytoxin production, respectively, in Streptomyces spp. causing common scab on potatoes. The PAI was tested for genetic variability by microarray analysis in strains of S. turgidiscabies isolated from potatoes in Finland. The data revealed four types of PAI based on divergent CR and TR which occurred in different combinations. Only one PAI type was highly similar to S. scabies (strains 87.22 and ATTC49173). Using probes designed for the predicted genes of S. scabies, two gene clusters in S. scabies appeared to be similar to most strains of S. turgidiscabies and contained PAI genes corresponding to CR and TR. They were located approximately 5 Mb apart in the S. scabies genome, as compared with only 0.3 Mb in S. turgidiscabies Car8. Data from comparative genomic hybridization with probes designed for S. scabies genes and for the PAI of S. turgidiscabies were compared by multilocus cluster analysis, which revealed two strains of S. turgidiscabies that were very closely related at the whole-genome level, but contained distinctly different PAIs. The type strain of S. reticuliscabiei (DSM41804; synonymous to S. turgidiscabies) was clustered with S. turgidiscabies. Taken together, the data indicate wide genetic variability of PAIs among strains of S. turgidiscabies, and demonstrate that PAI is made up of a mosaic of regions which may undergo independent evolution.
