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

A novel temperate phage, phiStx2k, was induced from a clinical Escherichia coli isolate producing Shiga toxin (Stx) 2k. The phage particles have an icosahedral head (50 nm in diameter) and a long non-contractile tail (149 nm long). The phage genome consists of 46,647 bp of double-stranded DNA with an average G + C content of 51%. Genome sequence comparisons suggested that phiStx2k represents a new genus in the class Caudoviricetes. phiStx2k was capable of converting non-Stx-producing E. coli strains to Stx producers. These results expand our knowledge on the characteristics of Stx phages and highlight the potential risks of the emergence of Stx-producing strains or novel pathogens via horizontal gene transfer.
