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

Bacteriophages are ubiquitous and highly genetically diverse biological entities. Here we describe the isolation and bioinformatic characterization of 56 phages isolated on two Rhodococcus spp. They include both lytic and temperate phages and are grouped with previously described Rhodococcus phages into six clusters and 16 singletons based on genome similarity. Their genome sizes range from 43.9 kbp to 142 kbp and they have a G + C content ranging from 41.2% to 68.4%. Some of the Rhodococcus phages are more closely related to phages isolated on non-Rhodococcus Actinobacteria hosts than they are to phages isolated from the same host genus, demonstrating complex evolutionary histories. This study further expands the growing field of Actinobacteriophage genomics.
