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

retractionY. Hiramatsu, K. Suzuki, D. Motooka, S. Nakamura, Y. Horiguchi, "Expression of Small RNAs of Bordetella Pertussis Colonizing Murine Tracheas," Microbiology and Immunology 64, no. 6 (2020): 469-475, https://doi.org/10.1111/1348-0421.12791. The above article, published online on 30 March, 2020 in Wiley Online Library (wileyonlinelibrary.com), has been retracted by agreement between the authors; the journal Editors-in-Chief, Chikara Kaito, Tomoyuki Honda, and Tomohiro Sawa; the Japanese Society for Bacteriology, the Japanese Society for Virology, and the Japanese Society for Host Defense Research; and John Wiley & Sons Australia, Ltd. The retraction has been agreed due to the request from the last author and the mutual agreement among all authors, after an institutional investigation was conducted by Osaka University that recommended retraction. The institutional investigation revealed that the first author was responsible for data fabrication and falsification within Figure 1(b), Figure 1(c) and data fabrication in Figure 2 for the Bpr4, 8 panels. Therefore, the conclusions of the paper are substantially compromised.
