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.

Abstract

The need to identify highly related bacterial strains is ancient in clinical, industrial, or environmental microbiology. Strategies based on different phenotypic and genotypic principles have been used since the early 1930s with variable outcomes and performances, accompanying the evolution of bacterial features' knowledge as well as technologies, instruments, and data analysis tools. Today, more than ever, the implementation of bacterial typing methods that combine a high reliability and accuracy with a rapid, low-cost, and user-friendly performance is highly desirable, especially for clinical microbiology. FT-IR developments for bacterial discrimination at the infra-species level settled on the identification of bacterial groups previously defined by phenotypic or genotypic typing methods. Therefore, this review provides a brief historical overview of main bacterial strain typing methods, and a comprehensive analysis of the fundamentals and applications of Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, a phenotypic-based method with potential for routine strain typing. The different studies on FT-IR-based strain typing of diverse Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacterial species are discussed in light of genotypic, phenotypic, and biochemical aspects, in order to definitively give this methodology credit to be widely accepted by microbiologists. Importantly, the discriminatory biochemical fingerprints observed on FT-IR spectra have been consistently correlated with sugar-based coating structures that besides reflecting strain variation are also of high relevance for the specificity in pathogen-host interactions. Thus, FT-IR-based bacterial typing might not only be useful for quick and reliable strain typing but also to help understanding the diversity, evolution, and host adaptation factors of key bacterial pathogens or subpopulations.
