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

INNO-LiPA MYCOBACTERIA (Innogenetics, Ghent, Belgium) is a reverse hybridization DNA probe assay that has been recently improved by increasing the number of identifiable mycobacterial species to 16. Our assessment, performed with 197 mycobacteria belonging to 81 taxa, revealed 100% specificity and sensitivity for 20 out of 23 probes. The probes specific for Mycobacterium fortuitum complex, for the Mycobacterium avium-intracellulare-scrofulaceum group, and for Mycobacterium intracellulare type 2 cross-reacted with several mycobacteria rarely isolated from clinical specimens. The overall sensitivity was 100%, and the overall specificity was 94.4%.
