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

Functional genomics of bacteria commonly aims at establishing genotype-phenotype links in microorganisms of industrial, technological and biomedical relevance. In this regard, random transposon mutagenesis coupled to high-throughput next-generation sequencing approaches, termed transposon-insertion sequencing (TIS), has emerged as a robust, genome-wide alternative to perform functional genome analysis. Though these approaches have been used in a large number of studies involving pathogenic and clinically relevant bacteria, they have received little attention in the fields of commensal and potentially beneficial bacteria, including probiotic microorganisms. In this chapter, we describe the implementation of the TIS method Transposon-Directed Insertion Sequencing to describe the set of essential genes in a representative strain of a genus encompassing several commensal and potentially probiotic bacteria and discuss considerations when applying similar methodological approaches to other Bifidobacterium species/strains of interest.
