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

Since 1817, cholera, caused by Vibrio cholerae, has been characterized by seven distinct pandemics. The ongoing seventh pandemic (7P) began in 1961. In this study, we developed a Multilevel Genome Typing (MGT) tool for classifying the V. cholerae species with a focus on the 7P. MGT is based on multilocus sequence typing (MLST), but the concept has been expanded to include a series of MLST schemes that compare population structure from broad to fine resolutions. The V. cholerae MGT consists of eight levels, with the lowest, MGT1, composed of 7 loci and the highest, MGT8, consisting of the 7P core genome (3,759 loci). We used MGT to analyze 5,771 V. cholerae genomes. The genetic relationships revealed by lower MGT levels recapitulated previous findings of large-scale 7P transmission across the globe. Furthermore, the higher MGT levels provided an increased discriminatory power to differentiate subgroups within a national outbreak. Additionally, we demonstrated the usefulness of MGT for non-7P classification. In a large non-7P MGT1 type, MGT2 and MGT3 described continental and regional distributions, respectively. Finally, MGT described trends of 7P in virulence, and MGT2 to MGT3 sequence types (STs) grouped isolates of the same
