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

Ribosome-inactivating proteins (RIPs), a group of biological toxins that depurinate a critical residue within the 28S rRNA, exhibit one of the most potent and elegant mechanisms of cellular toxicity. Examples of RIPs include ricin and Shiga toxin, which are amongst the most notorious toxins produced by plants and bacteria, respectively. Here, we discuss RIPs in the Bacteria domain. We review the biology of Shiga toxin and its role as a transformational virulence factor for some of the most virulent
