An imported case of bloody diarrhea in the Czech Republic caused by a hybrid enteroaggregative hemorrhagic Escherichia coli (EAHEC) O104:H4 strain associated with the large outbreak in Germany, May 2011.

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
A large outbreak caused by a rare Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli serotype O104:H4 occurred in Germany in May to July 2011. The National Reference Laboratory for E. coli and Shigella investigated the stool sample from an American tourist with bloody diarrhea who arrived in the Czech Republic from Germany where she consumed salads with raw vegetable a week ago. Using culture of the enriched stool on extended-spectrum β-lactamase agar, we isolated E. coli strain which belonged to serotype O104:H4 as determined by conventional and molecular serotyping. The strain contained the major virulence characteristics of enterohemorrhagic E. coli (stx (2) encoding Shiga toxin 2) and enteroaggregative E. coli (aggA encoding aggregative adherence fimbriae I). This unique combination of virulence traits demonstrated that this strain belongs to the hybrid enteroaggregative hemorrhagic E. coli clone which caused the German outbreak. Using advanced culture and molecular biological approaches is the prerequisite for identification of new, unusual pathogens.
