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

The aim of this study was to develop a PCR and reverse line blot hybridization (PCR-RLB) macroarray assay based on 16S-23S rRNA gene internal transcribed spacer sequences for the identification and differentiation of 34 mycobacterial species or subspecies. The performance of the PCR-RLB assay was assessed and validated by using 78 reference strains belonging to 55 Mycobacterium species, 219 clinical isolates which had been identified as mycobacteria by high-performance liquid chromatography or gas chromatography, three skin biopsy specimens from patients with suspected leprosy which had been shown to contain acid-fast bacilli, and isolates of 14 nonmycobacterial species. All mycobacteria were amplified in the PCR and hybridized with a genus-specific probe (probe MYC). The 34 species-specific probes designed in this study hybridized only with the corresponding Mycobacterium species. The mycobacterial PCR-RLB assay is an efficient tool for the identification of clinical isolates of mycobacteria; it can reliably identify mixed mycobacterial cultures and M. leprae in skin biopsy specimens.
