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

Plasmids play a key role in the spread of virulence and antimicrobial resistance genes to new genetic backgrounds. Genetic variation in the transfer operon, which contains the genes responsible for conjugation, can lead to substantial differences in transfer potential even between closely-related plasmids. However, it is not clear how much genetic diversity there is in transfer operons of natural bacterial populations. Here, we analyse the prevalence and transfer potential of F-like plasmids, a clinically important family of plasmids in
