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

Vibrio vulnificus is a leading cause of seafood-related deaths in the United States. Sequence variations in the virulence-correlated gene (vcg) have been used to distinguish between clinical and environmental V. vulnificus strains, with a strong association between clinical ones and the C sequence variant (vcgC). In this study, vcgC was selected as the target to design a loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) assay for the rapid, sensitive, specific, and quantitative detection of potentially virulent V. vulnificus strains in raw oysters. No false-positive or false-negative results were generated among the 125 bacterial strains used to evaluate assay specificity. The detection limit was 5.4 CFU per reaction for a virulent V. vulnificus strain (ATCC 33815) in pure culture, 100-fold more sensitive than that of PCR. In spiked raw oysters, the assay was capable of detecting 2.5 × 10(3) CFU/g of V. vulnificus ATCC 33815, while showing negative results for a nonvirulent V. vulnificus strain (515-4c2) spiked at 10(7) CFU/g. After 6 h of enrichment, the LAMP assay could detect 1 CFU/g of the virulent V. vulnificus strain ATCC 33815. Standard curves generated in pure culture and spiked oysters suggested a good linear relationship between cell numbers of the virulent V. vulnificus strain and turbidity signals. In conclusion, the LAMP assay developed in this study could quantitatively detect potentially virulent V. vulnificus in raw oysters with high speed, specificity, and sensitivity, which may facilitate better control of V. vulnificus risks associated with raw oyster consumption.
