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

Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli (STEC) isolates representing the serotypes O165:H25, O26:H11/H32, and O156:H25 were analyzed by matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization (MALDI) mass spectra of whole cells, a procedure also known as intact cell mass spectrometry (ICMS or IC-MALDI MS) or MALDI-typing. We demonstrate that within the given species the three serotypes can be well discriminated by ICMS. Conditions for the construction of serotype-specific prototypic mass spectra were systematically optimized by filtering out masses that do not contribute to the discrimination of the serotypes. Binary distances between prototypic spectra and sample spectra were used to determine serotypes of unknown samples. With parameters optimized, only 0.7% of the assignments were incorrect compared to 31% when distances were calculated from alignments of unfiltered mass spectra. Within the different serotypes, clusters of genetically related E. coli most probably originating from single clones could be distinguished by restriction fragment length polymorphism analysis. Since ICMS did not reproduce these clusters, we conclude that the power of ICMS is just sufficient to discriminate E. coli serotypes under certain conditions but fails for the differentiation of E. coli below this level.
