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

Xanthomonas, a complex group of pathogens, infects more than 400 plants, which is expanding to new hosts causing serious diseases. Genome-based studies are transforming our understanding on diversity and relationship of host-specific members, known as pathovars. In this study, we report complete genome sequence of a novel pathovar Xanthomonas axonopodis pv. commiphorae (Xcom) from India. It causes gumming disease of Commiphora wightii, a medicinally important plant. Genome-based phylogenetic and taxonomic investigation revealed that the pathovar belongs to Xanthomonas euvesicatoria and not X. axonopodis as reported earlier. Interestingly, it is a novel host and novel geographic origin for a X. euvesicatoria pathovar. A core-genome-based phylogenetic analysis resolved the pathovar complex of this species on the basis of their hosts. Interestingly, this pathovar harbors a unique 35-kb plasmid encoding type III effectors and toxin-antitoxin gene that is absent in other X. euvesicatoria pathovars and infects tomato, pepper, rose, onion, philodendron, alfalfa, and citrus plants. The pathovar contains two TAL (transcription activator-like) genes, one on plasmid and another on genomic region with an additional pseudo TAL gene flanked by IS elements in the plasmid. Further, Xcom has acquired a novel set of lipopolysaccharide biosynthesis genes after its divergence from the closely related pathovar that infects rose and supports the role of horizontal gene transfer in hypervariation at this locus in the species. Complete genome sequence of this variant pathovar has provided novel insights into evolution of an emerging pathovar in Xanthomonas and will be valuable resource in pathogenomics of X. euvesicatoria.
