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

Klebsiella pneumoniae is a Gram-negative, rod-shaped bacterium commonly found in the human intestine. Although it typically exists as part of the normal flora, it can also cause healthcare-associated infections with severe consequences. Understanding the specific genes responsible for its virulence through genetic manipulation is crucial for potential therapeutic interventions. However, manipulating K. pneumoniae presents challenges due to its exopolysaccharide capsule. This article presents a comprehensive collection of protocols designed to facilitate the genetic manipulation of K. pneumoniae. By following these protocols, researchers will acquire the necessary skills to prepare electrocompetent cells, utilize electroporation for efficient plasmid DNA introduction, construct isogenic mutants using the λ Red recombinase system, and generate a complementation vector for restoring the phenotypic traits of knockout strains. These protocols provide valuable tools and techniques to navigate the intricacies associated with studying and modifying K. pneumoniae. © 2023 The Authors.
