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

Tuberculosis (TB) continues to remain a leading cause of death globally. Of particular concern is the emergence and rise in incidence of multidrug-resistant and extremely drug-resistant cases of TB. To counter this threat, it is important to explore alternative therapies, including phage therapy. Phage BTCU-1 specifically infects Mycobacterium spp. and kills the majority of them. Intriguingly, many proteins from the phage do not share high amino-acid sequence identity with proteins from species other than phages. Here, the expression, purification and crystallization of one such protein, a putative phosphoribosyl transferase from phage BTCU-1, is reported. The crystals belonged to space group C222
