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

Mycobacterium avium subsp. hominissuis (MAH) is increasingly recognized as a significant cause of morbidity, particularly in elderly patients or those with immune deficiency or underlying lung impairment. Disease due to MAH is particularly difficult to treat, often requiring years of antibiotic therapy. Identification of genes essential for MAH growth may lead to novel strategies for improving curative therapy. Here we have generated saturating genome-wide transposon mutant pools in a strain of MAH (MAC109) and developed a novel computational technique for classifying annotated genomic features based on the in vitro effect of transposon mutagenesis. Our findings may help guide future genetic and biochemical studies of MAH pathogenesis and aid in the identification of new drugs to improve the treatment of these serious infections.
