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

In this study, we sought to isolate Salmonella Enteritidis-specific lytic bacteriophages (phages), and we found a lytic phage that could lyse not only S. Enteritidis but also other Gramnegative foodborne pathogens. This lytic phage, SS3e, could lyse almost all tested Salmonella enterica serovars as well as other enteric pathogenic bacteria including Escherichia coli, Shigella sonnei, Enterobacter cloacae, and Serratia marcescens. This SS3e phage has an icosahedral head and a long tail, indicating belong to the Siphoviridae. The genome was 40,793 base pairs, containing 58 theoretically determined open reading frames (ORFs). Among the 58 ORFs, ORF49, and ORF25 showed high sequence similarity with tail spike protein and lysozyme-like protein of Salmonella phage SE2, respectively, which are critical proteins recognizing and lysing host bacteria. Unlike SE2 phage whose host restricted to Salmonella enterica serovars Enteritidis and Gallinarum, SS3e showed broader host specificity against Gram-negative enteric bacteria; thus, it could be a promising candidate for the phage utilization against various Gram-negative bacterial infection including foodborne pathogens.
