Contributions of P2- and P22-like prophages to understanding the enormous diversity and abundance of tailed bacteriophages.
Article in Virology, 2016. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 41 papers.
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.
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
We identified 9371 tailed phage prophages of 20 known types in reported complete genome sequences of 3298 bacteria in the Salmonella genus. These include 4758 P2 type and 744 P22 type prophages. The latter prophage types were found in the genome sequences of 127 and 24 bacterial host genera, increasing the known host ranges of phages in these groups by 114 and 20 genera, respectively. These prophage nucleotide sequences displayed much more diversity than was previously known from the 48 P2 and 24 P22 type authentic phages whose genomes have been sequenced. More detailed analysis of these prophage sequences indicated that major capsid protein (MCP) gene exchange between tailed phage clusters or types is extremely rare and that P22 prophage-encoded tailspikes correspond perfectly with their hosts' surface polysaccharide structure; thus, MCP and tailspike sequences accurately predict tailed phage type (and thus lifestyle) and host cell surface polysaccharide structure, respectively.
