The effect of growth temperature on the pathogenicity of Campylobacter.
Article in Current microbiology, 2013. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 14 papers.
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
Control of Campylobacter in the food chain requires a better understanding of the behaviour of the bacteria in relevant environments. Campylobacter species are largely non-pathogenic in poultry, the body temperature of which is 42 °C. However, the bacteria are highly pathogenic in humans whose body temperature is 37 °C. The aim of this study was to examine if switching from commensal to pathogenic behaviour was related to temperature. We examined the growth, motility and invasion of T84 cells by three species of Campylobacter: C. jejuni 81116, C. jejuni M1, C. coli 1669, C. coli RM2228 and C. fetus fetus NC10842 grown at 37 and 42 °C. Our results suggest that C. jejuni isolates grow similarly at both temperatures but some are more motile at 42 °C and some are more invasive at 37 °C, which may account for its rapid spread in poultry flocks and for infection in humans, respectively. C. coli, which are infrequent causes of Campylobacter infections in humans, is less able to grow and move at 37 °C compared to 42 °C but was significantly more invasive at the lower temperature. C. fetus fetus, which is infrequently found in poultry, is less able to grow and invade at 42 °C.
