Characterization of Shigella flexneri Serotype 6 Strains Isolated from Bangladesh and Identification of a New Phylogenetic Cluster.
Article in Journal of bacteriology, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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
A significant cause of shigellosis in Bangladesh and other developing countries is Shigella flexneri serotype 6. This serotype has been subtyped, on the basis of the absence or presence of a group-specific antigen, E1037, into S. flexneri 6a and 6b, respectively. Here, we provided rationales for the subclassification, using several phenotypic and molecular tools. A set of S. flexneri 6a and 6b strains isolated between 1997 and 2015 were characterized by analyzing their biochemical properties, plasmid profiles, virulence markers, pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE) results, and ribotype. Additionally, the genomic relatedness of these subserotypes was investigated with global isolates of serotype 6 using publicly available genomes. Both subserotypes of S. flexneri 6 agglutinated with monoclonal antiserum against S. flexneri (MASF) B and type VI-specific antiserum (MASF VI) and were PCR positive for O-antigen flippase-specific genes and virulence markers (
