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

Erwinia amylovora, first identified in 1793 in Hudson Valley (New York, USA), has a genome size of 3.7-4.0 Mb. E. amylovora bacterial strains are classified based on the infecting hosts: the Amygdaloideae-infecting (AI) group, targeting apple and pear trees, and the Rubus-infecting group, affecting berry trees. Since the AI-group strains display high genetic similarity (˃99.7%), it is challenging to characterize their genotypes. This study investigated the genetic diversity of E. amylovora isolates in Korea and the regional distribution patterns of genotypes using a multilocus variable number of tandem repeat analysis (MLVA). Four specific primers were used to amplify and sequence tandem repeats in the E. amylovora genome, and a distribution map of E. amylovora was created using MLVA genotypes. Thirty-two types of MLVA patterns were identified in Korean strains, and RV19 was the dominant type identified in all South Korean regions. According to the minimal spanning tree, genotypes were differentiated into RV7, RV14, RV20, RV22, and RV27 types, originating from the RV19 type. This finding suggests that the RV19 type, introduced to Korea for the first time, spread to other regions from Anseong-si, Cheonan-si, Chungju-si, and Jecheon-si, depending on the type. We determined the MLVA genotypes of E. amylovora isolates and distribution patterns by region from 2019 to 2023. The distribution of these genotypes by year and region provides basic information for the genetic diversity and spread of E. amylovora in Korea.
