Comparative genomics of 84 Pectobacterium genomes reveals the variations related to a pathogenic lifestyle.
Article in BMC genomics, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 28 papers.
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.
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
backgroundPectobacterium spp. are necrotrophic bacterial plant pathogens of the family Pectobacteriaceae, responsible for a wide spectrum of diseases of important crops and ornamental plants including soft rot, blackleg, and stem wilt. P. carotovorum is a genetically heterogeneous species consisting of three valid subspecies, P. carotovorum subsp. brasiliense (Pcb), P. carotovorum subsp. carotovorum (Pcc), and P. carotovorum subsp. odoriferum (Pco).
resultsThirty-two P. carotovorum strains had their whole genomes sequenced, including the first complete genome of Pco and another circular genome of Pcb, as well as the high-coverage genome sequences for 30 additional strains covering Pcc, Pcb, and Pco. In combination with 52 other publicly available genome sequences, the comparative genomics study of P. carotovorum and other four closely related species P. polaris, P. parmentieri, P. atrosepticum, and Candidatus P. maceratum was conducted focusing on CRISPR-Cas defense systems and pathogenicity determinants. Our analysis identified two CRISPR-Cas types (I-F and I-E) in Pectobacterium, as well as another I-C type in Dickeya that is not found in Pectobacterium. The core pathogenicity factors (e.g., plant cell wall-degrading enzymes) were highly conserved, whereas some factors (e.g., flagellin, siderophores, polysaccharides, protein secretion systems, and regulatory factors) were varied among these species and/or subspecies. Notably, a novel type of T6SS as well as the sorbitol metabolizing srl operon was identified to be specific to Pco in Pectobacterium.
conclusionsThis study not only advances the available knowledge about the genetic differentiation of individual subspecies of P. carotovorum, but also delineates the general genetic features of P. carotovorum by comparison with its four closely related species, thereby substantially enriching the extent of information now available for functional genomic investigations about Pectobacterium.
