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

The oral bacterium, Campylobacter rectus, is an etiological agent of periodontitis. The virulence genes of C. rectus are largely unknown. The aim of this study was to query C. rectus for the presence of an invasion antigen B (ciaB) gene, which is needed for cell invasion by the related species Campylobacter jejuni. PCR and PCR-walking identified a ciaB from C. rectus. In silico analyses of C. rectus 314 ciaB (Cr-ciaB) revealed an ORF of 1,830 base pairs. The Cr-CiaB protein shared significant sequence identity (BLASTx and phylogeny) with CiaB from related campylobacters. Cr-CiaB is predicted to lack membrane helices, signal peptides, and localizes to the cytoplasm; which are consistent with CiaB proteins. Expression of Cr-ciaB was confirmed with RT-PCR; and potential ciaB genes were detected in eight additional strains of C. rectus. Cr-ciaB is the first CiaB identified from the oral campylobacters.
