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

Vibrio species are recognized for their role in food- and water-borne diseases in humans, fish, and aquatic invertebrates. We screened bacterial strains isolated from raw food shrimp for those that are bactericidal to Vibrio strains. Here we identify and characterize Aeromonas dhakensis strain A603 which shows robust bactericidal activity specifically towards Vibrio and related taxa but less potency toward other Gram-negative species. Using the A603 genome and genetic analysis, we show that two antibacterial mechanisms account for its vibriocidal activity -- a highly potent Type Six Secretion System (T6SS) and biosynthesis of a vibriocidal phenazine-like small molecule, named here as Ad-Phen. Further analysis indicates coregulation between Ad-Phen and a pore-forming T6SS effector TseC, which potentiates V. cholerae to killing by Ad-Phen.
