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

In our previous study, all Pseudomonas strains THP6, THP41, and OHP5 were identified as fluoride-resistant bacteria isolated from Dindigul district, Tamilnadu, India. The selected strains exhibiting a high level of fluoride resistance was determined in Luria broth (LB) medium and LB agar plates. In a further effort, fluoride-resistant organisms were tested for hemolytic activity and showed β-hemolysis on blood agar plates. The virulence factors such as gyrB, toxA, algD and lasB, plcH, rhlC and biofilm response genes (pslA, pelA, ppyR) were detected by PCR analysis. The putative genus-specific and species-specific PCR also confirmed that the selected fluoride-resistant strains were belonging to Pseudomonas aeruginosa species. Fluoride-resistance gene crcB was amplified by gene-specific primers. The crcB gene was cloned in TA vector and transformed into E. coli DH5α. Comparative and blast analysis of THP6, THP41, and OHP5 strains crcB gene sequences were high homology with P. aeruginosa fluoride efflux transporter crcB and P. aeruginosa putative fluoride ion transporter crcB. The recombinants were efficiently growing in the NaF containing LB agar plates. The fluoride tolerance of these strains was also associated with resistance to multiple antibiotics. These results can lead to the use of the fluoride resistance gene of P. aeruginosa for the development of a biosensor for fluoride detection.
