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

Flavobacterium psychrophilum, the etiological agent of bacterial coldwater disease (BCWD) and rainbow trout fry syndrome, causes great economic losses in salmonid aquaculture worldwide. Recent molecular studies have uncovered important epidemiological and ecological aspects of this pathogen; however, such data are lacking for F. psychrophilum populations affecting aquaculture in China. Herein, F. psychrophilum phenotype, genotype, and virulence were characterized for isolates recovered from epizootics in multiple salmonid aquaculture facilities across China. Thirty-one F. psychrophilum isolates, originating from four provinces and three host fish species, were predominantly homogeneous biochemically but represented 5 sequence types (STs) according to multilocus sequence typing (MLST) that belonged to clonal complex CC-ST10 or 3 newly recognized singleton STs. PCR-based serotyping classified 19 and 12 F. psychrophilum isolates into molecular serotypes 1 and 0, respectively, showing an obvious relationship with host species. Antimicrobial susceptibility analysis via broth microdilution revealed reduced susceptibility to enrofloxacin, flumequine, and oxolinic acid, moderate susceptibility to gentamicin, erythromycin, and florfenicol, and variable susceptibility to ampicillin and oxytetracycline.
