Shigella viruses Sf22 and KRT47 require outer membrane protein C for infection.

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.
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
Viruses rely on hosts for their replication: thus, a critical step in the infection process is identifying a suitable host cell. Bacterial viruses, known as bacteriophages or phages, often use receptor binding proteins to discriminate between susceptible and non-susceptible hosts. By being able to evade predation, bacteria with modified or deleted receptor-encoding genes often undergo positive selection during growth in the presence of phage. Depending on the specific receptor(s) a phage uses, this may subsequently affect the bacteria's ability to form biofilms, its resistance to antibiotics, pathogenicity, or its phenotype in various environments. In this study, we characterize the interactions between two T4-like phages, Sf22 and KRT47, and their host receptor S. flexneri outer membrane protein C (OmpC). Results indicate that these phages use a variety of surface features on the protein, and that complete resistance most frequently occurs when hosts delete the ompC gene in full, encode premature stop codons to prevent OmpC synthesis, or eliminate specific regions encoding exterior loops.
