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

Bordetella pertussis is increasingly detected by real-time PCR, but most kits for extracting Bordetella-DNA from respiratory samples are not validated for this material. Respiratory clinical materials were spiked with Bordetella pertussis cells. Four ion-exchange chromatography methods from one manufacturer were used for DNA preparation. Two real-time PCRs detecting the IS481 of Bordetella pertussis and based either on a hybridisation probes format (LightCycler) or on a TaqMan format were used. All kits effectively prepared DNA for Bordetella pertussis real-time PCR. The procedures were linear over a broad range, and the lower level of sensitivity was similar. Sensitivities measured as CT values were different. Inter-assay CVs were between 6.8% and 17.3%. Two kits did not effectively remove inhibitory substances from the respiratory samples. Commercial kits are useful for preparing Bordetella pertussis DNA from respiratory samples, but even kits from one manufacturer show significant differences in effectiveness and removal of inhibitory substances.
