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

Thirteen Escherichia coli isolates from dogs manifesting attaching and effacing lesions were characterized genetically with respect to the presence of the following virulence determinants associated with human enteropathogenic E. coli (EPEC): eaeA, encoding the outer membrane protein intimin; eaeB, which is necessary for inducing signal transduction; bfpA, encoding the bundle-forming pilus; and the EAF (stands for EPEC adherence factor) plasmid. These isolates were also analyzed phenotypically with respect to adherence to mammalian cells in vivo and in vitro. Nine of these 13 isolates were found to be eaeA positive by PCR: four of these nine were eaeB positive. The 5' end, but not the 3' end, of the eaeA gene was amplified by PCR when primers derived from the eaeA gene of EPEC were used. Six and eight of these 13 isolates were found to be bfpA positive and EAF positive, respectively. The bfpA gene and EAF locus were found on high-molecular-weight plasmids, whereas the eaeA and eaeB genes were chromosomally located when present. Only one canine E. coli isolate, 4221, which was positive for eaeA, eaeB, bfpA, and EAF, adhered to HEp-2 cells in a localized manner and was positive in the fluorescence actin staining test. The nine eaeA-positive isolates adhered to the mucosal surface of piglet ileal explants and induced some microvillus effacement. However, when tested in experimentally inoculated gnotobiotic piglets, isolate 4221 did not induce attaching and effacing lesions at any level of the intestinal tract. Our results indicate that canine E. coli isolates associated with attaching and effacing lesions share some properties with human EPEC but form a heterogeneous group.
