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

The increasing prevalence of antibiotic-resistant Shigella sp. emphasizes that alternatives to conventional antibiotics are needed. Siphoviridae bacteriophage (phage), pSf-2, infecting S. flexneri ATCC(®) 12022 was isolated from Geolpocheon stream in Korea. Morphological analysis by transmission electron microscopy revealed that pSf-2 has a head of about 57 ± 4 nm in diameter with a long tail of 136 ± 3 nm in length and 15 ± 2 nm in width. One-step growth analysis revealed that pSf-2 has latent period of 30 min and burst size of 16 PFU/infected cell. The DNA genome of pSf-2 is composed of 50,109 bp with a G+C content of 45.44 %. The genome encodes 83 putative ORFs, 19 putative promoters, and 23 transcriptional terminator regions. Genome sequence analysis of pSf-2 and comparative analysis with the homologous T1-like Shigella phages, Shfl1 and pSf-1, revealed that pSf-2 is a novel T1-like Shigella phage. These results showed that pSf-2 might have a high potential as a biocontrol agent to control shigellosis. Also, the genomic information may lead to further understanding of phage biodiversity, especially T1-like phages.
