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

Multienzyme multiplex PCR-amplified fragment length polymorphism (ME-AFLP) typing is a reliable and simple method for typing of bacterial species. In this study we analyzed two well-documented strain collections of Staphylococcus aureus and compared ME-AFLP typing results with results of various other typing methods. The discriminatory power of ME-AFLP was found comparable to pulsed-field gel electrophoresis, and typing results were highly concordant. ME-AFLP typing presents a suitable method for prescreening of large strain collections. Furthermore, the obtained typing patterns were found to cluster according to the staphylococcal cassette chromosome mec types of the strains.
