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

Transposon mutagenesis using transposome complex is a powerful method for functional genomics analysis in diverse bacteria by creating a large number of random mutants to prepare a genome-saturating mutant library. However, strong host restriction barriers can lead to limitations with species- or strain-specific restriction-modification systems. The purpose of this study was to enhance the transposon mutagenesis efficiency of Salmonella Enteritidis to generate a larger number of random insertion mutants. Host-adapted Tn5 DNA was used to form a transposome complex, and this simple approach significantly and consistently improved the efficiency of transposon mutagenesis, resulting in a 46-fold increase in the efficiency as compared to non-adapted transposon DNA fragments. Random nature of Tn5 insertions was confirmed by high-throughput sequencing of the Tn5-junction sequences. The result based on S. Enteritidis in this study should find broad applications in preparing a comprehensive mutant library of other species using transposome complex.
