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

Extra-intestinal pathogenic Escherichia coli are a significant cause of urinary tract infection and bacteraemia within the UK. We sought to identify the serogroups of 658 E. coli isolates collected in the UK between January 2011 and March 2012, to better understand the ExPEC population and understand the relevance of serogroups in this pathotype. Isolates were typed and serogroup identified using established phenotypic and molecular methods. Sixty-two serogroups were identified; 54 among urinary isolates and 35 among bloodstream isolates. However, serogroups O25, O6, and O2 dominated both infection types. These serogroups were linked to the major ExPEC STs as follows: ST131-O25, ST73-O6, ST127-O6, and ST95-O2. The serogroup data from this study have increased our understanding of the ExPEC population in the UK, but also highlighted key ST-serogroup relationships within the major ExPEC clones. These data can be used to guide vaccine design and in the development of laboratory diagnostic tests targeting the ExPEC population.
