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

Creation of defined genetic mutations is a powerful method for dissecting mechanisms of bacterial disease; however, many genetic tools are only developed for laboratory strains. We have designed a modular and general negative selection strategy based on inducible toxins that provides high selection stringency in clinical Escherichia coli and Salmonella isolates. No strain- or species-specific optimization is needed, yet this system achieves better selection stringency than all previously reported negative selection systems usable in unmodified E. coli strains. The high stringency enables use of negative instead of positive selection in phage-mediated generalized transduction and also allows transfer of alleles between arbitrary strains of E. coli without requiring phage. The modular design should also allow further extension to other bacteria. This negative selection system thus overcomes disadvantages of existing systems, enabling definitive genetic experiments in both lab and clinical isolates of E. coli and other Enterobacteriaceae.
