Extensive genomic variation within clonal bacterial groups resulted from homologous recombination.
Article in Mobile genetic elements, 2013. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
Due to divergence, genetic variation is generally believed to be high among distantly related strains, low among closely related ones and little or none within the same classified clonal groups. Several recent genome-wide studies, however, revealed that significant genetic variation resides in a considerable number of genes among strains with identical MLST (Multilocus sequence typing) types and much of the variation was introduced by homologous recombination. Recognizing and understanding genomic variation within clonal bacterial groups could shed new light on the evolutionary path of infectious agents and the emergence of particularly pathogenic or virulent variants. This commentary presents our recent contributions to this line of work.
