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

The gyrA gene of Campylobacter jejuni UA580, which encodes the A subunit of DNA gyrase, was cloned and its nucleotide sequence was determined. An open reading frame of 2,589 nucleotides was identified, which could code for a polypeptide of 863 amino acids with a M(r) of 97 kDa. Both the nucleotide sequence and the putative amino acid sequence show ca. 50% identity with those of other gyrA genes from gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria. The locations of the gyrA gene on genome maps of both C. jejuni UA580 and Campylobacter coli UA417 were determined. Six nalidixic acid-resistant isolates of C. jejuni were shown to carry mutations in gyrA. Three clinical isolates had Thr-86-to-Ile substitutions. Three laboratory mutants had substitutions of Thr-86 to Ile, Asp-90 to Ala, and Ala-70 to Thr, respectively. The mutation at Thr-86, which is homologous to Ser-83 in Escherichia coli, was associated with high-level resistance to ciprofloxacin in C. jejuni.
