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

Mycoplasma hominis is an opportunistic human pathogen associated with genital and neonatal infections. Until this study, the lack of a reliable transformation method for the genetic manipulation of M. hominis hindered the investigation of the pathogenicity and the peculiar arginine-based metabolism of this bacterium. A genomic analysis of 20 different M. hominis strains revealed a number of putative restriction-modification systems in this species. Despite the presence of these systems, a reproducible polyethylene glycol (PEG)-mediated transformation protocol was successfully developed in this study for three different strains: two clinical isolates and the M132 reference strain. Transformants were generated by transposon mutagenesis with an efficiency of approximately 10
