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

backgroundBacillus cereus sensu lato s.l.) is a group of bacteria displaying close phylogenetic relationships but a high ecological diversity. The three most studied species are Bacillus anthracis, Bacillus cereus sensu stricto and Bacillus thuringiensis. While some species are pathogenic to mammals or associated with food poisoning, Bacillus thuringiensis is a well-known entomopathogenic bacterium used as biopesticide worldwide. B. cereus s.l. also contains a large variety of mobile genetic elements (MGEs).

resultsIn this study, we detail the occurrence and plasmid vs. chromosome distribution of several MGEs in 102 complete and annotated genomes of B. cereus s.l. These MGEs include 16 Insertion Sequence (IS) families, the Tn3 family, 18 different Bacillus cereus repeats (BCRs) and 30 known group II introns.

conclusionsOur analysis not only shows the diversity of these MGEs among strains of the same species and between different species within the B. cereus s.l. group, but also highlights the potential impact of these elements on the plasticity of the plasmid pool, and the TEs (Transposable Elements) - species relationship within B. cereus s.l.
