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

Bacillus cytotoxicus is a member of the Bacillus cereus group with the ability to grow at high temperatures (up to 52℃) and to synthesize cytotoxin K-1, a diarrhoeagenic cytotoxin, which appears to be unique to this species and more cytotoxic than the cytotoxin K-2 produced by other members of this group. Only a few isolates of this species have been characterized with regard to their cytotoxic effects, and the role of cytotoxin K-1 as a causative agent of food poisoning remains largely unclear. Bacillus cytotoxicus was initially isolated from a food-borne outbreak, which led to three deaths, and the organism has since been linked to other outbreaks all involving plant-based food matrices. Other studies, as well as food-borne incidents reported to the UK Food Standards Agency, detected B. cytotoxicus in insect-related products and in dried food products. With insect-related food becoming increasingly popular, the association with this pathogen is concerning, requiring further investigation and evidence to protect public health. This review summarizes the current knowledge around B. cytotoxicus and highlights gaps in the literature from a food safety perspective.
