Spectrum of ctxB genotypes, antibiogram profiles and virulence genes of Vibrio cholerae serogroups isolated from environmental water sources from Odisha, India.
Article in BMC microbiology, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
backgroundThe present study reports on the comprehensive analysis of Vibrio cholerae O1 and non-O1/non-O139 serogroups isolated from environmental water sources during cholera outbreaks, epidemics and surveillance studies between years 2007 to 2019 from different districts of Odisha, India.
methodsA total of 85 stocked cultures of V. cholerae O1 and non-O1/non-O139 strains were analyzed for different ctxB genotypes, toxic genes, antibiogram profiles through PCR assays and pulsotyped by pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE).
resultsFrom all V. cholerae strains tested, 51 isolates were O1 Ogawa and the rest 34 strains were non-O1/non-O139. All the V. cholerae O1 strains were altered El Tor variants carrying ctxB1, ctxB3 and ctxB7 genotypes. However, only ctxB1 genotypes were present in V. cholerae non-O1/non-O139. Though non-O1/non-O139 strains were negative by O1 antisera, 20% strains were positive for rfbO1 gene by PCR assay. All the V. cholerae isolates possessed a variety of virulence genes including ace, ctxAB, toxR, zot, hlyA which were in higher percentage in the case of V. cholerae O1. The Vibrio cholerae O1 and non-O1-/non-O139 strains showed multiple antibiotic resistances in 2007 and 2012. The PCR detection of four resistance associated genes (strB, dfrA1, sulll, SXT) confirmed higher prevalence in V. cholerae non-O1/non-O139 strains. The PFGE analysis revealed 3 pulsotypes having 93% similarity among V. cholerae O1 strains.
conclusionThis study indicates the changing epidemiology, antibiogram patterns and continuous genetic variation in environmental V. cholerae strains of Odisha over the years. So continuous surveillance is necessary to understand the changing patterns of V. cholerae different serogroups isolated from stool and water samples from Odisha.
