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

Vibrio cholerae is a human pathogen transmitted through the consumption of contaminated food or water. The O1 and O139 serogroups can lead to cholera outbreaks and epidemics, while non-O1/non-O139 serogroups can cause sporadic moderate or mild diarrhea and can also cause systemic infections. In this study, we performed genomic sequencing and phenotypic assays on 13 non-O1/non-O139 V. cholerae isolates (7 clinical and 6 environmental strains). Our results revealed that, except for the environmental isolate NOVC12, most clinical and environmental strains clustered separately on the phylogenetic tree. All isolates lacked the virulence genes ctxAB and tcpA, but harbored potential virulence factors including hlyA, gbpA, and rtxA. All strains may encode the type VI secretion system, while most clinical isolates and two environmental isolates additionally harbor the component genes of the type III secretion system. Five clinical isolates and two environmental isolates likely harbor integrative and conjugative elements. Phenotypic assays confirmed that these strains exhibited hemolytic activity, biofilm formation, and motility, and all strains were susceptible to tetracycline and azithromycin. The results of this study provide insights into the characteristics of clinical and environmental isolates of non-O1/non-O139 V. cholerae. Surveillance of these strains is of great significance for the prevention and control of disease infections.
