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

backgroundPseudomonas savastanoi is an important plant pathogen that infects and causes symptoms in a variety of economically important crops, causing considerable loss of yield and quality. Because there has been no research reported to date on bacterial canker of kiwifruit (Actinidia chinensis) plants caused by P. savastanoi and, in particular, no in-depth studies of the complete genome sequence or pathogenic mechanism, long-lasting and environmentally friendly control measures against this pathogen in kiwifruit are lacking. This study therefore has both theoretical value and practical significance.

resultsWe report the complete genome sequence of P. savastanoi strain MHT1, which was first reported as the pathogen causing bacterial canker in kiwifruit plants. The genome consists of a 6.00-Mb chromosome with 58.5% GC content and 5008 predicted genes. Comparative genome analysis of four sequenced genomes of representative P. savastanoi strains revealed that 230 genes are unique to the MHT1 strain and that these genes are enriched in antibiotic metabolic processes and metabolic pathways, which may be associated with the drug resistance and host range observed in this strain. MHT1 showed high syntenic relationships with different P. savastanoi strains. Furthermore, MHT1 has eight conserved effectors that are highly homologous to effectors from P. syringae, Pseudomonas amygdali, and Ralstonia solanacearum strains. The MHT1 genome contains six genomic islands and two prophage sequences. In addition, 380 genes were annotated as antibiotic resistance genes and another 734 as encoding carbohydrate-active enzymes.

conclusionThe whole-genome sequence of this kiwifruit bacterial canker pathogen extends our knowledge of the P. savastanoi genome, sets the stage for further studies of the interaction between kiwifruit and P. savastanoi, and provides an important theoretical foundation for the prevention and control of bacterial canker.
