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

Aeromonas dhakensis has emerged as a significant pathogen affecting both aquatic animals and humans; however, genomic data for isolates from marine mammals remain scarce. In this study, we characterised the genome of A. dhakensis strain KDL-001, isolated from a fatal dolphin case, using whole-genome sequencing and comparative genomics. Taxonomic analyses, including MLST and average nucleotide identity (ANI), confirmed the isolate as A. dhakensis. Core-genome phylogeny further revealed that KDL-001 is closely related to strains derived from fish and aquatic environments. Notably, in silico screening of virulence-associated genes showed that the virulence-associated gene profile of the dolphin isolate was broadly comparable to those of other A. dhakensis strains, with no isolate-specific virulence-associated genes being identified within the limits of this analysis. These findings demonstrate that the dolphin-derived isolate is genomically comparable to previously described A. dhakensis strains and possesses conserved virulence-associated genes commonly found within the species.
