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

There are several pieces of evidence regarding the role of bacteria, such as Streptococcus bovis/gallolyticus in the etiology of gastrointestinal diseases such as colorectal cancer (CRC) and inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Therefore, the aim of this study was to detect S. gallolyticus subsp. gallolyticus (Sgg) in fecal samples of CRC and IBD patients by culture and molecular methods, in Ahvaz, southwest of Iran. A total of 106 fecal samples were collected from 22 CRC patients, 44 IBD patients, and 40 healthy individuals. The prevalence of Sgg was investigated by culture and polymerase chain reaction (PCR) with specific primers for sodA gene. The results of the stool culture showed that the overall prevalence of Sgg was 9 (13.6%) out of 66 patients. Meanwhile, the number of Sgg isolated from IBD and CRC patients was 7 (15.9%) and 2 (9%), respectively. The bacteria were not isolated from any of the control groups. On the basis of PCR, S. gallolyticus was detected in 24 (36.4%) out of 66 patients. Meanwhile, the number of IBD patients with positive sodA gene was 15 (34.1%) out of 44 cases. In CRC patients, the sodA gene was detected in 9 (40.9%) of 22 cases. Two (5%) of the specimens in the control group had the sodA gene. According to our results, S. gallolyticus subsp. gallolyticus might be involved in CRC and IBD pathogenesis. More investigation with different samples in the various areas might be shaded light on these results.
