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 automated multiplex system for simultaneously screening hepatitis B virus (HBV), hepatitis C virus (HCV), and human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) in blood donations. The assay, designated AMPLINAT MPX HBV/HCV/HIV-1 Test (AMPLINAT MPX), consists of virus extraction and target sequence-specific probe capture on specimen preparation workstation GT-X (Roche Diagnostics K.K., Tokyo, Japan) and amplification and detection by TaqMan PCR on the ABI PRISM 7700 Analyzer (Perkin-Elmer Applied Biosystems, Foster City, Calif.). An internal control (IC) is incorporated in the assay to monitor the extraction, target amplification, and detection processes. The assay yields qualitative results without discrimination of the three targets. Detection limits (95% confidence interval) are 22 to 60 copies/ml for HBV, 61 to 112 IU/ml for HCV, and 33 to 66 copies/ml for HIV-1, using a specimen input volume of 0.2 ml. The AMPLINAT MPX assay detects a broad range of genotypes or subtypes for all three viruses and has a specificity of 99.6% for all three viruses with seronegative specimens. In an evaluation of seroconversion panels, the AMPLINAT MPX assay detects HBV infection an average of 24 days before the detection of HBsAg by enzyme immunoassay. HCV RNA was detected an average of 31 days before HCV antibody. HIV-1 RNA was detected an average of 14 days before HIV-1 antibody and an average of 9 days before p24 antigen. The Japanese Red Cross has been evaluating the AMPLINAT MPX system since October 1999. The clinical performance indicates that the AMPLINAT MPX system is robust, sensitive, and reproducible, with a high percentage of valid assay runs (96.8%), a low false-positive rate (0.34%), and a low IC failure rate (0.24%).
