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

The genome of Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae encodes several immunodominant proteins, including a cytosolic protein (p36), three membranous proteins (p46, p65, and p74), and an adhesin (p97). Cross-reactions with M. flocculare and M. hyorhinis reduce the specificity of conventional serological detection methods. However, certain antigenic determinants of the p36 and p46 proteins have been shown to be specific for M. hyopneumoniae. In the present study, pairs of oligonucleotide primers were designed to permit PCR amplification of entire p36 and p46 genes and of internal fragments of these genes. Specific amplicons could be obtained with as low as 0.5 to 50 pg of extracted chromosomal DNA. No amplification product was obtained when testing p36 and p46 primer pairs with genomic DNA or RNA from other mycoplasma species, bacteria, and viruses commonly associated with respiratory diseases in pigs. By using the single p36-PCR method, a positive reaction was demonstrated in 100% (30 of 30) of lungs from pigs that developed typical lesions associated with an M. hyopneumoniae infection, and no false-positive results were detected when 62 apparently normal lungs were tested. On the other hand, with the single p46-PCR method a sensitivity of 86.6% (26 of 30) and a specificity of 96.7% (60 of 62) were obtained in comparison with the necropsy findings. A mixed infection with M. hyorhinis was diagnosed in 13.3% (4 of 30) of the cases by using species-specific primers for the heterologous p37 gene. The sensitivity of the single p36-PCR method for the detection of M. hyopneumoniae, when tested on tracheobronchial swabs, was 100% (20 positive samples), with a specificity of 93.3% (14 of 15 negative samples), compared to the necropsy findings. Both expected amplicons were obtained with 86.6% (26 of 30) positive lungs when p36 and p46 primers were used simultaneously (multiplex PCR) to further increase the specificity of the PCR assay.
