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

A Klebsiella pneumoniae bacteriophage (vB_KpnM_IME346) was isolated from a hospital sewage sample. This bacteriophage specifically infects a clinical K. pneumoniae strain with a K63 capsular polysaccharide structure. The phage genome was evaluated by next-generation sequencing, which revealed a linear double-stranded DNA genome consisting of 49,482 base pairs with a G+C content of 49.1%. The latent period of vB_KpnM_IME346 was shown to be 20 min, and the burst size was 25-30 pfu (plaque-forming units)/infected cell. Transmission electron microscopy and phylogenetic analysis showed that the JD001-like phage belongs to the genus Jedunavirus of the family Myoviridae. The newly isolated vB_KpnM_IME346 shows infectivity in the clinical host K. pneumoniae KP576 strain, indicating that it is a promising alternative to antibacterial agents for removing K. pneumoniae from patients.
