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

Xanthomonas citri is a phytopathogenic species with a wide host range that harbors subspecies and pathovars such as citri, mangiferaeindicae, viticola, and malvacearum which cause citrus canker, bacterial canker of the mango, bacterial blight of cotton, and grapevine bacterial canker, respectively. In this work, 32 genomes belonging to these four pathovars were sequenced, two of which were from X. citri subsp. citri, one from X. citri pv. mangiferaeindicae, 13 from X. citri pv. viticola, and 16 from X. citri subsp. malvacearum. The genome size, N50, and GC content ranged from 4,978,419 to 5,256,019 bp, 67,322 to 727,867 bp, and 64.32% and 64.79%, respectively. All strains presented values of dDDH and ANIm greater than 77.3% and 96.1%, when compared to each other, and above 93% and 99%, when compared in relation to their respective pathotype strains. Maximum likelihood analysis of 1,298 core genes grouped the strains and their respective pathotype type with a 100% bootstrap. CRISPR sequences and genes from the Xop family (XopX, XopA, and XopV) and transcription activator-like effectors (TALE) were detected in all analyzed strains. The genomes sequenced in this study will help to understand the biology of these plant pathogens, enabling the development of more effective and precise management strategies and the prevention of disease outbreaks.
