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

objectiveTo construct srtA-gene deletion mutant of Streptococcus mutans (S. mutans) UA159 with IFDC2 cassette through overlapping polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and allelic homologous recombination.

methodsFirst, the upstream and downstream fragments surrounding the srtA and IFDC2 cassette were PCR amplified and ligated through overlapping PCR. The resulting amplicon was transformed into UA159, and positive transformants were selected on BHI plates containing erythromycin. Second, upstream and downstream fragments of srtA with overlap regions were generated by PCR and were overlapped to create upΔ-down amplicon. Then, the upΔ-down amplicon was transformed into the aforementioned positive transformants and selected on BHI plates containing p-Cl-Phe.

resultsThe PCR analysis and DNA sequencing results indicated that the coding region of the srtA was completely deleted, and the upstream and downstream regions flanking the srtA were ligated seamlessly.

conclusionsThe markerless srtA-deletion mutant of S. mutans was constructed successfully, which laid a foundation for further study of its biological function and influence on the biofilm formation of S. mutans.
