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

Very fast amplification of DNA in small volumes can be continuously monitored with a rapid cycler that incorporates fluorimetric detection. Primers were designed to amplify a 157-bp fragment of the rpoB gene spanning codons 526 and 531 and a 209-bp fragment of the katG gene spanning codon 315 of Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Most mutations associated with resistance to rifampin (RMP) and isoniazid (INH) in clinical isolates occur in these codons. Two pairs of hybridization probes were synthesized; one in each pair was 3' labeled with fluorescein and hybridized upstream of the codon with the mutation; the other two probes were 5' labeled with LightCycler-Red 640. Each pair of probes recognized adjacent sequences in the amplicon. After DNA amplification was finished by using a LightCycler, the temperature at which the Red 640 probe melted from the product was determined in a 3-min melt program. Twenty M. tuberculosis clinical isolates susceptible to streptomycin, INH, RMP, and ethambutol and 36 antibiotic-resistant clinical M. tuberculosis isolates (16 resistant to RMP, 16 to INH, and 4 to both antimicrobial agents) were amplified, and the presence of mutations was determined using single-strand conformation polymorphism analysis, the LiQor automated sequencer, and the LightCycler system. Concordant results were obtained in all cases. Within 30 min, the LightCycler method correctly genotyped all the strains without the need of any post-PCR sample manipulation. Overall, this pilot study demonstrated that real-time PCR coupled to fluorescence detection is the fastest available method for the detection of RMP and INH resistance-associated mutations in M. tuberculosis clinical isolates.
