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

The gut microbiota is considered to play a key role in human health. As a consequence, deciphering its microbial diversity is mandatory. A polyphasic taxonogenomic strategy based on the combination of phenotypic and genomic analyses was used to characterize a new bacterium, strain Marseille-P2911. This strain was isolated from a left colon sample of a 60-year old man who underwent a colonoscopy for an etiological investigation of iron-deficiency anemia in Marseille, France. On the basis of 16S rRNA sequence comparison, the closest phylogenetic neighbor was Anaeroglobus geminatus (94.59% 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity) within the family Veillonellaceae. Cells were anaerobic, Gram-stain-positive, non-spore-forming, catalase/oxidase negative cocci grouped in pairs. The bacterium was able to grow at 37 °C after 2 days of incubation. Strain Marseille-P2911 exhibited a genome size of 1,715,864-bp with a 50.2% G + C content, and digital DNA-DNA hybridization (dDDH) and OrthoANI values with A. geminatus of only 19.1 ± 4.5% and 74.42%, respectively. The latter value being lower than the threshold for genus delineation (80.5%), we propose the creation of the new genus Colibacter gen. nov., with strain Marseille-P2911
