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

Enterococci appear to have originated in the guts of early terrestrializing arthropods and invertebrates over 425 million years ago-hosts that are now highly diverse and widespread in nature today. Yet most knowledge of the genus comes from human infection-associated lineages with genomes swollen by the recent accretion of foreign DNA conveyed by mobile elements. Because invertebrates dominate terrestrial animal diversity and biomass, they would be predicted to constitute a major but little-explored reservoir of enterococcal diversity. We therefore systematically examined
