Exploring a Pathogenomic Approach and the Galleria mellonella Model to Evaluate the Virulence of Arcobacter butzleri.
Article in Current microbiology, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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.
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
Arcobacter butzleri is an emerging zoonotic pathogen described in 1991. Despite its increasing incidence in clinical cases, there is still a need to better understand the underlying mechanisms of pathogenicity. Therefore, the aim of this study was to evaluate if different virulence profiles of A. butzleri are associated with different extent of virulence in the Galleria mellonella experimental model. Twenty-one A. butzleri strains isolated from various sources were characterized by searching for putative virulence determinants (PVDs) through genomic analysis and PCR (i.e., cadF, cj1349, ciaB, mviN, tlyA, pldA, irgA, hecA, hecB, and iroE genes). Seven virulence profiles were obtained (designated as Profile A to G). A representative strain from each profile was selected to conduct assays in the G. mellonella model. Even though the profile C was the most virulent, there was no correlation between the virulence profiles and G. mellonella mortality/melanization. Our study show that G. mellonella is a reliable and cost-effective model for studying the pathogenicity of A. butzleri. However, our results underscore the significance of evaluate additional virulence factors beyond the analyzed PVDs.
