Differential detection of Brugia malayi and Brugia pahangi by real-time fluorescence resonance energy transfer PCR and its evaluation for diagnosis of B. pahangi-infected dogs.

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.
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 real-time fluorescence resonance energy transfer PCR combined with melting curve analysis was developed for differentiating Brugia malayi and Brugia pahangi DNA in host blood using one set of primers and fluorophore-labeled hybridization probes specific for HhaI repetitive DNA. The differentiation of both species was based on their melting temperatures (Tm). The mean Tm +/- SD of B. malayi and B. pahangi were 56.18+/-0.21 and 52.49+/-0.07, respectively. The method was used for the molecular detection of B. pahangi in infected dog blood samples. The diagnostic sensitivity, specificity, accuracy,and positive and negative predictive values of this method were 100%. The detected mean difference of the Tm might allow the simple discrimination of two related species. This method is fast, sensitive, allows for a high throughput, can be performed on very small volumes, and has potential for diagnosis of B. pahangi-infected dogs in endemic areas as well as for large epidemiological investigations.
