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

Phylogenetic reconstruction of three highly conserved proteins involved in bacterial conjugation (relaxase, coupling protein and a type IV secretion system ATPase) allowed the classification of transmissible elements in relaxase MOB families and mating pair formation MPF groups. These evolutionary studies point to the existence of a limited number of module combinations in transmissible elements, preferentially associated with specific genetic or environmental backgrounds. A practical protocol based on the MOB classification was implemented to detect and assort transmissible plasmids and integrative elements from γ-Proteobacteria. It was called "Degenerate Primer MOB Typing" or DPMT. It resulted in a powerful technique that discovers not only backbones related to previously classified elements (typically by PCR-based replicon typing or PBRT), but also distant new members sharing a common evolutionary ancestor. The DPMT method, conjointly with PBRT, promises to be useful to gain information on plasmid backbones and helpful to investigate the dissemination routes of transmissible elements in microbial ecosystems.
