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

We previously isolated and sequenced two genomic segments of Mycobacterium avium subsp. paratuberculosis, namely, f57, a species-specific sequence, and the p34 gene, coding for a 34-kDa antigenic protein. Comparison of sequences upstream of the p34 open reading frame (us-p34) from M. avium subsp. paratuberculosis and M. tuberculosis showed a 79-base deletion in M. tuberculosis. Sequence analysis of the p34 genes in another two species, M. bovis (strain BCG) and M. avium (strain D4), confirmed the differences observed between tuberculous and nontuberculous species. A duplex diagnostic PCR strategy based on coamplification of nonhomologous us-p34 and species-specific f57 sequences was therefore developed. Duplex PCR yielded three different patterns, specific either for tuberculous bacilli (M. tuberculosis, M. bovis, and M. africanum), for both nontuberculous mycobacteria M. avium and M. intracellulare, or for M. avium subsp. paratuberculosis. The specificity of this single-step DNA-based assay was assessed on DNA from cultured mycobacterial strains, as well as on a panel of formalin-fixed and paraffin-embedded tissues from cattle. Molecular assay results from tissular DNA were compared to conventional bacteriological and histological test results, including those obtained by Ziehl-Neelsen staining on tissue biopsy specimens. Molecular discrimination was successful and confirmed the value of duplex us-p34 and f57 sequence amplification for differential diagnosis of tuberculosis, paratuberculosis, or infections caused by other members of the M. avium complex.
