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

Integrons are genetic elements involved in bacterial adaptation which capture, shuffle and express genes encoding adaptive functions embedded in cassettes. These events are governed by the integron integrase through site-specific recombination between attC and attI integron sites. Using computational and molecular genetic approaches, here we demonstrate that the integrase also catalyses cassette integration into bacterial genomes outside of its known att sites. Once integrated, these cassettes can be expressed if located near bacterial promoters and can be excised at the integration point or outside, inducing chromosomal modifications in the latter case.
