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

Taxonomic and phylogenetic relationships of Streptococcus mitis and Streptococcus oralis have been difficult to establish biochemically and genetically. We used core-genome analyses of S. mitis and S. oralis, as well as the closely related species Streptococcus pneumoniae and Streptococcus parasanguinis, to clarify the phylogenetic relationships between S. mitis and S. oralis, as well as within subclades of S. oralis. All S. mitis (n = 67), S. oralis (n = 89), S. parasanguinis (n = 27), and 27 S. pneumoniae genome assemblies were downloaded from NCBI and reannotated. All genes were delineated into homologous clusters and maximum-likelihood phylogenies built from putatively nonrecombinant core gene sets. Population structure was determined using Bayesian genome clustering, and patristic distance was calculated between populations. Population-specific gene content was assessed using a phylogenetic-based genome-wide association approach. Streptococcus mitis and S. oralis formed distinct clades, but species mixing suggests taxonomic misassignment. Patristic distance between populations suggests that S. oralis subsp. dentisani is a distinct species, whereas S. oralis subsp. tigurinus and subsp. oralis are supported as subspecies, and that S. mitis comprises two subspecies. None of the genes within the pan-genomes of S. mitis and S. oralis could be statistically correlated with either, and the dispensable genomes showed extensive variation among isolates. These are likely important factors contributing to established overlap in biochemical characteristics for these taxa. Based on core-genome analysis, the substructure of S. oralis and S. mitis should be redefined, and species assignments within S. oralis and S. mitis should be made based on whole-genome analysis to be robust to misassignment.
