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

Mutant hunts using comprehensive sequence-defined libraries make it possible to identify virtually all of the nonessential functions required for different bacterial processes. However, the success of such screening depends on the accuracy of mutant identification in the mutant library used. To provide a high-quality library for Pseudomonas aeruginosa PAO1, we created a sequence-verified collection of 9,437 transposon mutants that provides genome coverage and includes two mutants for most genes. Mutants were cherry-picked from a larger library, colony-purified, and resequenced both individually using Sanger sequencing and in a pool using Tn-seq. About 8% of the insertion assignments were corrected, and in the final library nearly 93% of the transposon locations were confirmed by at least one of the resequencing procedures. The extensive sequence verification and inclusion of more than one mutant for most genes should help minimize missed or erroneous genotype-phenotype assignments in studies using the new library.
