Adherence patterns and adherence-related DNA sequences in Escherichia coli isolates from children with and without diarrhea in São Paulo city, Brazil.

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
The correlation between various adherence patterns and adherence-related DNA sequences in Escherichia coli isolates from 1- to 4-year-old children with and without diarrhea in São Paulo, Brazil, was evaluated. A total of 1,801 isolates obtained from 200 patients and 200 age-matched controls were studied. The adherence patterns found were classified as diffuse, aggregative, aggregative in a 6-h assay, aggregative predominantly in coverslips, localized, localized-like, and noncharacteristic. In general, the DNA sequences used as probes showed excellent specificities (>93%), but their sensitivities varied. Thus, the results of bioassays and assays with DNA probes normally used to search for adherent E. coli did not correlate well, and the best method for the identification of these organisms in the clinical research setting remains controversial. Isolates presenting diffuse adherence or hybridizing with the related daaC probe, or both, were by far the most frequent in patients (31.5, 26.0, and 23.0%, respectively), followed by isolates presenting aggregative adherence or hybridizing with the related EAEC probe, or both (21.5, 13.0, and 10.5%, respectively). None of the different combinations of adherence patterns and adherence-related DNA sequences found were associated with acute diarrhea.
