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

Staphylococcus lugdunensis is an unusually virulent coagulase-negative species, associated with severe infections. The present report describes the development of a single-step, species-specific PCR protocol for S. lugdunensis identification. fbl gene, encoding a fibrinogen-binding adhesin, was exploited and assessed as a suitable nucleic acid target. The gene was detected in all 17 S. lugdunensis isolates examined, while no amplification product was obtained from 98 isolates representing 11 staphylococcal and 17 nonstaphylococcal species. Forty-seven percent of the S. lugdunensis strains produced a positive slide coagulase reaction, which is consistent with varying levels of Fbl protein expression within the species.
