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

Reproducible methodologies and a scheme for high-resolution genotyping of Streptococcus pyogenes were defined with respect to a study of six predominant M serotypes causing invasive group A streptococcal disease in the United Kingdom. Serotype reference strains were compared with nine clinical isolates of each serotype from patients with diseases such as pneumonia, puerperal sepsis, toxic shock-like-syndrome, cellulitis, or necrotizing fasciitis. Four enzymes were evaluated for their discriminatory power in 16S rRNA gene-specific ribotyping. Discriminatory power was greatest with EcoRI, which generated serotype-specific ribotypes, and with SacI, which could subdivide strains of the same M serotype. Twenty-five combined ribotypes were found among the 60 strains, and the indices of discriminatory power (D values) of this method varied from 0.51 within serotype M1 to 0.98 within strains of serotype M5. Macrorestriction with the rarely cutting endonuclease SmaI and pulsed-field gel electrophoresis gave D values varying from 0.37 within serotype M1 to the maximal 1.0 within serotype M5. Comparison of macrorestriction profiles revealed various degrees of genetic heterogeneity within M serotypes. Strains of M1, M3, M6, and M11 exhibited clonally related macrorestriction profiles, while those of R28 and M5 strains were consistent with polyphyletic origin.
