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

We have previously reported the construction of Staphylococcus aureus integration vectors based on the staphylococcal pathogenicity island 1 (SaPI1) site-specific recombination system. These are shuttle vectors that can be propagated in Escherichia coli, which allows for standard DNA manipulations. In S. aureus, these vectors are temperature-sensitive and can only be maintained at non-permissive (42 °C) temperatures by integrating into the chromosome. However, most S. aureus strains are sensitive to prolonged incubations at higher temperatures and will rapidly accumulate mutations, making the use of temperature-sensitive integration vectors impractical for single-copy applications. Here we describe improved versions of these vectors, which are maintained only in single-copy at the SaPI1 attachment site. In addition, we introduce several additional cassettes containing resistance markers, expanding the versatility of integrant selection, especially in strains that are resistant to multiple antibiotics.
