Ribotyping for use in studying molecular epidemiology of Serratia marcescens: comparison with biotyping.
Article in Journal of clinical microbiology, 1995. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers.
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.
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
Ribotyping carried out with a nonradioactive probe (acetylaminofluorene ribosomal RNA kit I from Eurogentec, Seraing, Belgium) was performed for the characterization of 139 hospital strains of Serratia marcescens. These strains, which belonged to 11 biotypes and 1 nontypeable group, were isolated in seven hospitals in Belgium between 1986 and 1992. EcoRI and HindIII were used to obtain cleavage patterns. Analysis of the results produced 27 different patterns with EcoRI and 23 patterns with HindIII. Typeability reached 100%. Combination of the patterns obtained with each enzyme produced 38 distinct ribotypes. Percent similarity values, calculated by using the Dice coefficient and unweighted-pair group average linkage clustering, showed four main clusters and nine subclusters of ribopatterns at a similarity rate of approximately 80% or less. These groups did not coincide with those delimited by biotyping, although a rather good correlation was observed. The simultaneous use of the two methods has potential value in epidemiological studies.
