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

Introduction: Plasmids, the most important and versatile bacterial extrachromosomal DNA Molecules, has have been a center central topic for bacterial genetics and biology. However, the inability of short-read high-throughput sequencing methods to reliably assemble plasmids makes it difficult to investigate the diversity of plasmid structures and functions. Methods: In this work, we used the long-read Nanopore sequencing method to address this issue, by producing high quality whole genome sequences of 33 bacterial strains from 11 perianal abscess-suffering patients. Results and discussion: Successful high quality assemblies were generated with this method, including 20 perfect assemblies out of 33 genomes. A total of 47 plasmids were identified from the bacterial strains, including 12 unique, newly identified, high quality circular plasmids. These plasmids were further subject to structural analysis, leading to the finding of significant diversification from previously known plasmids, suggesting the diversity of plasmid structure and function. Particularly, two
