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

Contamination of fresh produce with Escherichia coli O157:H7 and other pathogens commonly causes food-borne illness and disease outbreaks. Thus, screening for pathogens is warranted, but improved testing procedures are needed to allow reproducible same-day detection of low initial contamination levels on perishable foods, and methods for detecting numerous pathogens in a single test are desired. Experimental procedures were developed to enable rapid screening of spinach for E. coli O157:H7 by using multiplex-capable immunological assays that are analyzed using biosensors. Detection was achieved using an automated electrochemiluminescent (ECL) assay system and a fluorescence-based cytometric bead array. Using the ECL system, less than 0.1 CFU of E. coli O157:H7 per gram of spinach was detected after 5 h of enrichment, corresponding to 6.5 h of total assay time. Using the cytometric bead array, less than 0.1 CFU/g was detected after 7 h of enrichment, with a total time to detection of less than 10 h. These results illustrate that both biosensor assays are useful for rapid detection of E. coli O157:H7 on produce in time frames that are comparable to or better than those of other testing formats. Both methods may be useful for multiplexed pathogen detection in the food industry and other testing situations.
