A cornucopia of Shigella phages from the Cornhusker State.
Article in Virology, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 12 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
Bacteriophages are abundant in the environment, yet the vast majority have not been discovered or described. Many characterized bacteriophages infect a small subset of Enterobacteriaceae hosts. Despite its similarity to Escherichia coli, the pathogenic Shigella flexneri has relatively few known phages, which exhibit significant differences from many E. coli phages. This suggests that isolating additional Shigella phages is necessary to further explore these differences. To address questions of novelty and prevalence, high school students isolated bacteriophages on non-pathogenic strains of enteric bacteria. Results indicate that Shigella phages are abundant in the environment and continue to differ significantly from E. coli phages. Our findings suggest that Shigella-infecting members of the Ounavirinae subfamily continue to be over-represented and show surprisingly low diversity within and between sampling sites. Additionally, a podophage with distinct genomic and structural properties suggests that continued isolation on non-model species of bacteria is necessary to truly understand bacteriophage diversity.
