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

DNA sequencing of whole bacterial genomes has revealed that the entire set of mobile genes (mobilome) represents as much as 25% of the bacterial genome. Despite the huge availability of sequence data, the functional analysis of the mobile genetic elements (MGEs) is rarely reported. Therefore, established laboratory protocols are needed to investigate the biology of this important part of the bacterial genome. Conjugation is a mechanism of horizontal gene transfer which allows the exchange of MGEs among strains of the same or different bacterial species. In streptococci and enterococci, integrative and conjugative elements (ICEs) represent a large part of the mobilome. Here, we describe an efficient and easy-to-perform plate mating protocol for in vitro conjugative transfer of ICEs in streptococci (
