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

aimsThe present study analyzed long-term trends in Vibrio spp. virulence factors associated with pathogenicity in Chesapeake Bay waters (in Maryland) across two 3-year sampling periods (2009-2012 and 2019-2022). METHODS AND

resultsVibrio parahaemolyticus (n = 1476) and V. vulnificus (n = 806) isolates were recovered from 13 sampling stations and tested for species-specific and virulence markers. Across both sampling periods, detection of V. parahaemolyticus tdh+/trh+ isolates was similar and more frequently observed in the spring and fall, and the upper sampling stations. However, significant differences were observed in the detection of V. vulnificus pilA+ and rtxA+ isolates, with a higher percentage of pilA+ in 2019-2022 and rtxA+ in 2009-2012. VcgC+ isolates were most frequently detected during the fall (n = 24%) in 2019-2022. Interestingly, a greater prevalence of V. vulnificus isolates harboring virulence markers was observed in the mid and lower stations.

conclusionsVibrio vulnificus isolates displayed greater changes in virulence marker frequency across sampling periods compared to V. parahaemolyticus and these markers were detectable throughout the year.
