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

Lactococcus garvieae has emerged as an important zoonotic pathogen. However, information regarding mechanisms and factors related to its pathogenicity is lacking. In the present study, we investigated the distribution and functionality of genes related to virulence factors in L. garvieae strains isolated from different niches (diseased fish, humans, meat and dairy products, vegetables), using both post-genomic and genotypic analysis. Putative genes encoding hemolysin, fibronectin-binding protein, and penicillin acylase were detected in all analyzed genomes/strains. Their expression was significantly induced by bile salt stress. Putative genes encoding bile salt hydrolase were found in a few strains from dairy and human sources, as well as the mobilizable tet genes. Finally, all genomes possessed a folate gene cluster, in which mutations in the dihydropteroate synthase gene (folP) could be related to sulfonamide resistance. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first study aimed to explore the pathogenic potential of L. garvieae through the analysis of numerous L. garvieae genomes/strains, coming from different sources. This approach allowed the detection of virulence-related genes not yet investigated in the species and the study of their expression after exposure to different environmental stresses. The results obtained suggest a virulence potential in some L. garvieae strains that can be exploited for survival in the human gastrointestinal tract.
