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

A novel bacteriophage vB_CoeS_P1, isolated in the surface waters of the Cochin estuary of Kerala, India, was identified as phage known to infect Vibro spp_SR1_COC. Transmission electron microscopy analysis revealed that the phage had a myovirus morphotype with an icosahedral head and a long contractile tail. Characterization experiments showed that the phage was stable across a temperature range of 4 °C to 60 °C, a pH of 4 to 12, and a salinity range of 0.5% to 16%. One-step growth curve analysis revealed a burst size of 40 PFU/Cell and a latent period of 20 min. The phage contains a double-stranded DNA with 136,927 bp and 34.93% GC content. The NCBI BLASTn analysis reveals that vB_CoeS_P1 exhibits very low sequence similarity (1% query coverage and 77.82% identity) with Vb_VpaM_R16F (OP793884.1). It has 265 predicted ORFs, among them 57 have putative functions with no tRNA, antibiotic encoding genes, and resistance encoding genes. Three putative auxiliary metabolic genes were identified, encoding pyrophosphohydrolase enzyme (ORF 75), PhoH-like phosphate starvation-inducible (ORF 34), and Endonuclease V N-glycosylase UV repair enzyme (ORF 248). Phylogenetic analysis of conversed genes revealed that vB_CoeS_P1 is clustered with Vb_VpaM_R16F but diverged into a distinct clade. Further, whole genome proteomic tree analysis, comparative genome analysis using average nucleotide identity (ANI), and network analysis confirmed that vB_CoeS_P1 contains a unique genetic and evolutionary architecture. These findings support the proposal of a new bacteriophage family Estoviridae, within the Caudoviricetes class.
