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

Introduction: Shiga toxin-producing Methods: A total of 184 STEC isolates were collected from clinical swine cases submitted between 2014 and 2025. Isolates were characterized via PCR-based virulence gene profiling, cytotoxicity assays using Vero cells, antimicrobial susceptibility testing, and Gompertz-modeled Results: A total of 184 STEC isolates were recovered from swine diagnostic submissions across nine Korean provinces between 2014 and 2025. Genotypic analysis identified 29 virulence gene profiles, with Stx2e and F18 being predominant. Phenotypic assays revealed that Stx2e-only isolates exhibited superior growth kinetics and higher cytotoxicity than other genotypes. Antimicrobial susceptibility testing demonstrated widespread multidrug resistance, especially to sulfonamides, Conclusion: This study provides a decade-long surveillance-based framework for rational STEC vaccine design in swine. Two Stx2e-positive strains were selected as representative immunogen candidates based on integrated genotypic and phenotypic criteria. These findings support the development of scalable, field-relevant vaccine platforms aimed at reducing antimicrobial use and controlling edema disease in Korean pig populations.
