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

A multiplex PCR assay was developed for the detection of toxigenic and pathogenic V. cholerae from direct water sources using specific primers targeting diverse genes, viz. outer membrane protein (ompW), cholera toxin (ctxB), ORF specific for O1 (rfbG), zonula occludens (zot) and toxin co-regulated pilus (tcpB); among these genes, ompW acts as internal control for V. cholerae, the ctx gene as a marker for toxigenicity and tcp for pathogenicity. The sensitivity of multiplex PCR was 5 x 10(4) V. cholerae cells per reaction. The procedure was simplified as direct bacterial cells were used as template and there was no need for DNA extraction. The assay was specific as no amplification occurred with the other bacteria used. Toxigenic V. cholerae were artificially spiked in different water samples, filtered through a 0.45 microm membrane, and the filters containing bacteria were enriched in APW for 6 h. PCR following filtration and enrichment could detect as little as 8 V. cholerae cells per mL in different spiked water samples. Various environmental potable water samples were screened for the presence of V. cholerae using this assay procedure. The proposed method is rapid, sensitive and specific for environmental surveillance for the presence of toxigenic-pathogenic and nonpathogenic V. cholerae.
