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

Campylobacter jejuni is a major cause of food-borne illness due to its ability to reside within the gastrointestinal tracts of chickens. Multiple studies have identified the flagella of C. jejuni as a major determinant of chicken colonization. An inhibitor screen of approximately 147,000 small molecules was performed to identify compounds that are able to inhibit flagellar expression in a reporter strain of C. jejuni. Several compounds that modestly inhibited motility of wild-type C. jejuni in standard assays were identified, as were a number of small molecules that robustly inhibited C. jejuni growth, in vitro. Examination of similar bacterial screens found that many of these small molecules inhibited only the growth of C. jejuni. Follow-up assays demonstrated inhibition of other strains of C. jejuni and Campylobacter coli but no inhibition of the closely related Helicobacter pylori. The compounds were determined to be bacteriostatic and nontoxic to eukaryotic cells. Preliminary results from a day-of-hatch chick model of colonization suggest that at least one of the compounds demonstrates promise for reducing Campylobacter colonization loads in vivo, although further medicinal chemistry may be required to enhance bioavailability.
