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 current methods for the detection of pathogenic Yersinia enterocolitica bacteria in food are time consuming and inefficient. Therefore, we have developed and evaluated in-house a TaqMan probe-based real-time PCR method for the detection of this pathogen. The complete method comprises overnight enrichment, DNA extraction, and real-time PCR amplification. Also included in the method is an internal amplification control. The selected primer-probe set was designed to use a 163-bp amplicon from the chromosomally located gene ail (attachment and invasion locus). The selectivity of the PCR method was tested with a diverse range (n = 152) of related and unrelated strains, and no false-negative or false-positive PCR results were obtained. The sensitivity of the PCR amplification was 85 fg purified genomic DNA, equivalent to 10 cells per PCR tube. Following the enrichment of 10 g of various food samples (milk, minced beef, cold-smoked sausage, fish, and carrots), the sensitivity ranged from 0.5 to 55 CFU Y. enterocolitica. Good precision, robustness, and efficiency of the PCR amplification were also established. In addition, the method was tested on naturally contaminated food; in all, 18 out of 125 samples were positive for the ail gene. Since no conventional culture method could be used as a reference method, the PCR products amplified from these samples were positively verified by using conventional PCR and sequencing of the amplicons. A rapid and specific real-time PCR method for the detection of pathogenic Y. enterocolitica bacteria in food, as presented here, provides a superior alternative to the currently available detection methods and makes it possible to identify the foods at risk for Y. enterocolitica contamination.
