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

We developed a multiprobe real-time PCR assay targeting hsp65 (HMPRT-PCR) to detect and identify mycobacterial isolates and isolates directly from sputum specimens. Primers and probes for HMPRT-PCR were designed on the basis of the hsp65 gene sequence, enabling the recognition of seven pathogenic mycobacteria, including Mycobacterium tuberculosis, M. avium, M. intracellulare, M. kansasii, M. abscessus, M. massiliense, and M. fortuitum. This technique was applied to 24 reference and 133 clinical isolates and differentiated between all strains with 100% sensitivity and specificity. Furthermore, this method was applied to sputum specimens from 117 consecutive smear-positive patients with smear results of from a trace to 3+. These results were then compared to those obtained using the rpoB PCR-restriction analysis method with samples from cultures of the same sputum specimens. The HMPRT-PCR method correctly identified the mycobacteria in 89 samples (76.0%, 89/117), and moreover, the sensitivity level was increased to 94.3% (50/53) for sputa with an acid-fast bacillus score equal to or greater than 2+. Our data suggest that this novel HMPRT-PCR method could be a promising approach for detecting pathogenic mycobacterial species from sputum samples and culture isolates routinely in a clinical setting.
