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 have developed an amplification-based reverse dot blot assay for the detection of specific sites of insertion of the Mycobacterium tuberculosis insertion sequence IS6110. In this assay, a set of biotin-labeled amplicons representing the various copies of IS6110 and their flanking sequences is generated by linker-mediated PCR. The amplicons are then hybridized to immobilized oligonucleotide probes that are specific for known IS6110 insertion sites. The method was evaluated using an array of oligonucleotide probes corresponding to IS6110 insertion sites from M. tuberculosis strains CDC1551, Erdman, and H37Rv, and multidrug-resistant strain W. A set of 72 DNA samples from 60 M. tuberculosis clinical isolates was analyzed for the presence or absence of these insertion sites, and the assay was found to be highly reproducible. This method of identifying insertion sites has been named "insite" and can be used for the genotyping of M. tuberculosis complex strains based on IS6110 insertion site profiles.
