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

Salmonella enterica ser. Typhimurium monophasic variant 4,[5],12:i:- has been associated with food-borne epidemics worldwide and swine appeared to be the main reservoir in most of the countries of isolation. However, the monomorphic nature of this serovar has, so far, hindered identification of the source due to expansion of clonal lineages in multiple hosts and food producing systems. Since geographically structured genetic signals can shape bacterial populations, identification of biogeographical markers in S. 1,4,[5],12:i:- genomes can contribute to improving source attribution. In this study, the phylogeographical structure of 148 geographically and temporally related Italian S. 1,4,[5],12:i:- has been investigated. The Italian isolates belong to a large population of clonal S. Typhimurium/1,4,[5],12:i:- isolates collected worldwide in two decades showing up to 2.5% of allele differences. Phylogenetic reconstruction revealed that isolates from the same geographical origin form highly supported monophyletic groups, suggesting discrete geographical segregation. These monophyletic groups are characterized by the gene content of a large sopE-containing prophage. Within this prophage, genome-wide comparison identified several genes overrepresented in strains of Italian origin. This suggests that certain lineages may be characterized by the acquisition of specific accessory genetic markers useful for improving identification of the source in ongoing epidemics.
