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

backgroundPathogenic strains in Escherichia coli can be divided into several pathotypes according to their virulence features. Among them, uropathogenic E. coli causes most of the urinary tract infections and has a genotype distinct from other virulent strains of E. coli. In this study, we sequenced and analyzed the genome of E. coli NCCP15653 isolated from the feces of a diarrhea patient in 2007 in South Korea.

resultsA phylogenetic tree based on MLST showed that NCCP15653 belongs to the D group of E. coli and located in the lineage containing strains ST2747, UMN026 and 042. In the genome of NCCP15653, genes encoding major virulence factors of uropathogenic E. coli were detected. They include type I fimbriae, hemin uptake proteins, iron/manganese transport proteins, yersiniabactin siderophore proteins, type VI secretion proteins, and hemolysin. On the other hand, genes encoding AslA, OmpA, and the K1 capsule, which are virulence factors associated with invasion of neonatal meningitis-causing E. coli, were also present, while a gene encoding CNF-1 protein, which is a cytotoxic necrotizing factor 1, was not detected.

conclusionsThrough the genome analysis of NCCP15653, we report an example of a genome of chimeric pathogenic properties. The gene content of NCCP15653, a group D strain, demonstrates that it could be both uropathogenic E. coli and neonatal meningitis-causing E. coli. Our results suggest the dynamic nature of plastic genomes in pathogenic strains of E. coli.
