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

Streptococcus uberis is one of the most frequent mastitis-causing pathogens isolated from dairy cows. Further understanding of S. uberis genetics may help elucidate the disease pathogenesis. We compared the genomes of S. uberis isolates cultured from dairy cows located in distinctly different geographic regions of Australia. All isolates had novel multi locus sequence types (MLST) indicating a highly diverse population of S. uberis. Global clonal complexes (GCC) were more conserved. GCC ST86 and GCC ST143 represented 30% of the total isolates (n = 27) and were clustered within different geographic regions. Core genome phylogeny revealed low phylogenetic clustering by region, isolation source, and MLST. Identification of putative sortase (srtA) substrates and generation of a custom putative virulence factor database revealed genes which may explain the affinity of S. uberis for mammary tissue, evasion of antimicrobial efforts and disease pathogenesis. Of 27 isolates, four contained antibiotic resistance genes including an antimicrobial resistance cluster containing mel/mef(A), mrsE, vatD, lnuD, and transposon-mediated lnuC was also identified. These are novel genes for S. uberis, which suggests interspecies lateral gene transfer. The presence of resistance genes across the two geographic regions tested within one country supports the need for a careful, tailored, implementation and monitoring of antimicrobial stewardship.
