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

A novel virulent bacteriophage vB_SpuP_Spp16 (hereafter designated Spp16) that infects Salmonella enterica serovar pullorum was isolated. Transmission electron microscopy showed that Spp16 possessed an isometric polyhedral head (60 nm in diameter) and a short tail (10 nm in length) belonging to the family Podoviridae. Its complete genome was determined to be 41,832 bp, with a 39.46% GC content by next-generation sequencing. The genome contains 53 proposed open reading frames that are involved in DNA replication and modification, transcriptional regulation, phage structural and packaging proteins and bacterial lysis. No transfer RNA genes were identified. The termini of genome were determined using our previously proposed termini identification method, which suggests that this phage has redundant termini with 421 bp direct terminal repeats. BLASTn analysis revealed the highest sequence similarity with Yersinia phage phi80-18, with a genome coverage of 33% and highest sequence identity of 69%. The phylogenetic analysis indicated that Spp16 forms a distinct branch of the subfamily Autographivirinae. Comparative genomics analysis showed that the phage Spp16 should be regarded as a new subcluster within the GAP227-like cluster in the Autographivirinae subfamily. The phage Spp16 has an obligate lytic life cycle demonstrated by experimental data and genomic analysis. These results suggest that Spp16 may be a proper candidate to control diseases caused by Salmonella enterica serovar pullorum.
