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

With the advent of whole-genome sequencing (WGS), comparative genomic analyses have enabled the development of core genome multilocus sequence typing (cgMLST) schemes for high-resolution, reproducible typing of bacterial isolates. In cgMLST, hundreds of loci are used for gene-by-gene comparisons of assembled genomes for studying the genetic diversity of isolates, including clinically important pathogens. Combination of the cgMLST data and metadata of the isolates is useful for epidemiological investigations.Here we present a cgMLST scheme for the high-resolution typing of isolates from the whole Leptospira genus, enabling identification at the level of species, clonal groups, and sequence types. We show several examples of how the cgMLST Leptospira database, which is a publicly available web-based database, can be used for the analyses of WGS data of Leptospira isolates. This effort was undertaken to facilitate international collaborations and support the global surveillance of leptospirosis.
