Potential evolutionary impact of integrative and conjugative elements (ICEs) and genomic islands in the Ralstonia solanacearum species complex.
Article in Scientific reports, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 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
Ralstonia solanacearum, a soil-borne plant pathogen, encompasses a large number of strains known as R. solanacearum species complex (RSSC). Although it has been suggested that mobile genetic elements (MGEs) may play an important role in the RSSC genome, the evolutionary impact of these elements remains unknown. Here, we identified and analysed Integrative and Conjugative Elements (ICEs) and Genomic Islands (GIs) in the 121 genomes published for Ralstonia spp., including RSSC strains and three other non-plant pathogenic Ralstonia spp. Our results provided a dataset of 12 ICEs and 31 GIs distributed throughout Ralstonia spp. Four novel ICEs in RSSC were found. Some of these elements cover 5% of the host genome and carry accessory genes with a potential impact on the fitness and pathogenicity of RSSC. In addition, phylogenetic analysis revealed that these MGEs clustered to the same species, but there is evidence of strains from different countries that host the same element. Our results provide novel insight into the RSSC adaptation, opening new paths to a better understanding of how these elements affect this soil-borne plant pathogen.
