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

Brucellosis is among the most widespread zoonotic diseases globally, affecting multiple domestic animal species. We report the first isolation of Brucella suis from a vaginal swab collected from an aborted cow in India. The isolate (VS1) was confirmed as B. suis bv. 1 by biochemical assays and species-specific PCR. Whole genome sequencing analysis of the VS1 isolate revealed a 32,81,903 bp genome with a guanosine and cytosine (GC) content of 57.29%. Multilocus sequence typing (MLST) 9-gene, 21-gene, and core genome MLST (cgMLST) schemes identified sequence types ST14, ST75, and ST1054/1075, respectively. Comparative genomics involving publicly available B. suis genome sequences showed conservation of key virulence genes. The genome B. suis strain 1330 was used to identify the single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) in study genomes and 63 SNPs were identified in the virulence-associated genes. The study indicates that B. suis biovar 1 can infect cattle, and likely contributes in the epidemiology and control of bovine brucellosis in India.
