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

Metallo-beta-lactamase enzymes (MbetaL) are encoded by transferable genes, which appear to spread rapidly among gram-negative bacteria. The objective of this study was to develop a multiplex real-time PCR assay followed by a melt curve step for rapid detection and identification of genes encoding MbetaL-type enzymes based on the amplicon melting peak. The reference sequences of all genes encoding IMP and VIM types, SPM-1, GIM-1, and SIM-1 were downloaded from GenBank, and primers were designed to obtain amplicons showing different sizes and melting peak temperatures (Tm). The real-time PCR assay was able to detect all MbetaL-harboring clinical isolates, and the Tm-assigned genotypes were 100% coincident with previous sequencing results. This assay could be suitable for identification of MbetaL-producing gram-negative bacteria by molecular diagnostic laboratories.
