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

Clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR) cas genes have been linked to stress response in Salmonella. Our aim was to identify the presence of CRISPR cas in Salmonella and its response to heat in the presence of iron. Whole genomes of Salmonella (n = 50) of seven serovars were compared to identify the presence of CRISPR cas genes, direct-repeats and spacers. All Salmonella genomes had all cas genes present except S. Newport 2393 which lacked these genes. Gene-specific primers were used to confirm the absence of these genes in S. Newport 2393. The presence/absence of CRISPR cas genes was further investigated among 469 S. Newport genomes from PATRIC with 283 genomes selected for pan-genome analysis. The response of eleven Salmonella strains of various serovars to gradual heat in ferrous and ferric forms of iron was investigated. A total of 32/283 S. Newport genomes that lacked all CRISPR cas genes clustered together. S. Newport 2393 was the most heat-sensitive strain at higher iron levels (200 and 220 pm) in ferrous and ferric forms of iron. The absence of CRISPR cas genes in S. Newport 2393 may contribute to its increase in heat sensitivity and iron may play a role in this. The high reduction in numbers of most Salmonella strains exposed to heat makes it unfeasible to extract RNA and conduct transcription studies. Further studies should be conducted to validate the survival of Salmonella when exposed to heat in the presence/absence of CRISPR cas genes and different iron levels.
