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

The clustered regularly interspaced palindromic repeat (CRISPR)-associated (Cas) system functions classically as a prokaryotic defense system against invading mobile genetic elements, such as phages, plasmids, and viruses. Our previous study revealed that CRISPR deletion caused increased transcription of capsular polysaccharide (CPS) synthesis-related genes and severely attenuated virulence in the hypervirulent piscine Streptococcus agalactiae strain GD201008-001. Here, we found that CRISPR deficiency resulted in reduced adhesion, invasion, and biofilm formation abilities in this strain by upregulating the production of CPS. However, enhanced CPS production was not responsible for the attenuated phenotype of the ΔCRISPR mutant. RNA degradation assays indicated that inhibited transcription of the
