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

Pyrosequencing involves the synthesis of single-stranded deoxyribonucleic acid leading to rapid and accurate analysis of nucleotide sequences. This article describes the development of typing assays for the characterization of Neisseria meningitidis using Pyrosequencing. This involved developing methods for the nucleotide sequence analysis of important variable regions contained on a major capsule gene and on outer membrane protein genes that are used for grouping, typing, and subtyping meningococci. To achieve this, primers were designed for amplification of three genes, siaD, porB, and porA from the four main serogroups B, C, Y, and W135. To facilitate throughput and reproducibility, the method was also automated. Data from 717 isolates have shown that Pyrosequencing can be used for the single nucleotide polymorphism and sequence-analysis characterization of meningococci.
