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

In order to evaluate the proficiency of the GenoType Mycobacteria strip hybridization assay (Hain Lifescience, Nehren, Germany) for the routine identification of mycobacteria, the assay was used to identify 178 clinical isolates during a 6-month prospective study. The GenoType results were compared to the identification results obtained with AccuProbe (GenProbe, San Diego, CA, USA) or 16S rDNA sequencing, and an overall agreement of 89.3% between GenoType and the two reference methods was reached. The GenoType assay is, thus, a rapid and reliable method for the identification of clinically important mycobacteria, and it is well suited for use in a routine laboratory.
