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

Actinobacillus seminis is a gram-negative bacterium that affects reproductive organs, causing epididymitis, low fertility, and occasional abortions in sheep and goats. The virulence factors and the pathogenicity mechanisms of A. seminis have not been clearly elucidated yet. The aim of this study is to report a laboratory investigation performed on a sheep farm in the Basilicata region (southern Italy) following cases of abortion. Four samples of aborted fetuses taken from two sheep were analyzed to investigate the main pathogens causing abortions by bacterial isolation. In addition, serum samples belonging to the sheep have also been analyzed. Analysis by matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS) of the isolated colonies identified protein spectra referable to A. seminis. This result was also confirmed through the use of genome sequencing. Therefore, these data could explain cases of abortion that occurred on the farm and would confirm that MALDI-TOF MS technology is a rapid, accurate, and inexpensive method for identifying bacteria.
