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

backgroundStreptococcus pneumoniae (pneumococcus) represents an important human pathogen, responsible for respiratory and invasive infections in the community. The efficacy of polysaccharide conjugate vaccines formulated against pneumococci is reduced by the phenomenon of serotype replacement in population of this pathogen. The aim of the current study was to obtain and compare complete genomic sequences of two pneumococcal isolates, both belonging to ST320 but differing by the serotype.

resultsHere, we report genomic sequences of two isolates of important human pathogen, S. pneumoniae. Genomic sequencing resulted in complete sequences of chromosomes of both isolates, 2,069,241 bp and 2,103,144 bp in size, and confirmed the presence of cps loci specific for serotypes 19A and 19F. The comparative analysis of these genomes revealed several instances of recombination, which involved not only S. pneumoniae but also presumably other streptococci as donors.

conclusionsWe report the complete genomic sequences of two S. pneumoniae isolates of ST320 and serotypes 19A and 19F. The detailed comparative analysis of these genomes revealed the history of several recombination events, clustered in the region including the cps locus.
