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

backgroundIdentification, understanding of antibiotic sensitivity patterns and molecular characterization of genetic elements of Shigella species are important because of both epidemiological and clinical indications in developing countries.

objectivesThe aim of this study was to analyze molecular epidemiology of Shigella isolates recovered from children with diarrhea in Shiraz (Southern Iran), using IpaH and IpaBCD PCR-restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP), and to determine pulsed field gel electrophoresis (PFGE) patterns of total DNA of the S. sonnei isolates to find the clonality among these strains. PATIENTS AND

methodsA total of 82 clinical strains of Shigella spp., S. sonnei (n = 61), S. flexneri (n = 16), Shigella boydii (n = 3) and S. dysenteriae (n = 2) isolated from the stool samples of 719 patients, aged two months to 14 years, with positive occult blood (OB) test were characterized based on their IpaH and IpaBCD genes PCR-RFLP patterns. Genomic DNAs of S. sonnei strains were analyzed by PFGE.

resultsAll Shigella isolates were positive for both invasive genes and showed homogeneous profiles for such genes except for two S. sonnei strains, which had IpaH bands with different sizes and PCR-RFLP profiles. Forty palsotypes were determined among the 41 S. sonnei strains. Sample patterns were divided into two groups based on the drawn dendrogram with a similarity range of 70% to 100%.

conclusionsThe results revealed that the strains under study could be epidemically related. It seems that an alternative subtyping method is needed to study the relationship among clinical S. sonnei strains and their transmission. Here, we reported for the first time, two strains of S. sonnei with a different PCR-RFLP pattern for IpaH gene.
