A chimeric disposition of the elongation factor genes in Rickettsia prowazekii.
Article in Journal of bacteriology, 1996. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 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
An exceptional disposition of the elongation factor genes is observed in Rickettsia prowazekii, in which there is only one tuf gene, which is distant from the lone fus gene. In contrast, the closely related bacterium Agrobacterium tumefaciens has the normal bacterial arrangement of two tuf genes, of which one is tightly linked to the fus gene. Analysis of the flanking sequences of the single tuf gene in R. prowazekii shows that it is preceded by two of the four tRNA genes located in the 5' region of the Escherichia coli tufB gene and that it is followed by rpsJ as well as associated ribosomal protein genes, which in E. coli are located downstream of the tufA gene. The fus gene is located within the str operon and is followed by one tRNA gene as well as by the genes secE and nusG, which are located in the 3' region of tufB in E. coli. This atypical disposition of genes suggests that intrachromosomal recombination between duplicated tuf genes has contributed to the evolution of the unique genomic architecture of R. prowazekii.
