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

aimWe intended to find out the diversity of EPEC isolates among asymptomatic or diarrheal children in Iran using ribotyping.

backgroundEnteropathogenic Escherichia coli (EPEC) is responsible for gastroenteritis especially in young children. PATIENTS AND

methodsA total of 39 EPEC collected strains were serotyped and the presence of virulence genes as well as EAF plasmid among the strains was studied. Adherence assay was also performed. Clonal diversity of the isolates was investigated using ribotyping.

resultsOf 39 studied strains of E. coli, 6 serogroups of EPEC were represented. The presence of the stx gene was ascertained in 7 isolates and the eaeA, eaeB and bfpA genes were harbored by 5, 3 and 1 strains, respectively. Ribotyping yielded 9 different clusters.

conclusionAccording to our results there was not a significant correlation between the results of serotyping and those of ribotyping. However, different serotypes of E. coli may belong to the same ribotype clusters and vice versa.
