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

To determine if the 2005 Chinese outbreak strain of Streptococcus suis is circulating in the United States, three different PCR primer-pairs derived from the nucleotide sequences surrounding and internal to the unique pathogenicity island -like DNA segment of the Chinese outbreak strain (strain 05ZYH33) were used to screen 290 swine isolates of S. suis obtained from different locations. The first primer pair amplified an approximately 1000-bp fragment from 47 (16%) of the United States isolates and the second amplified an 1800-bp fragment from 23 (8%) of the isolates. Nucleotide sequences of the amplicons shared identity with those of strain 05ZYH33. The third primer pair amplified a 716-bp amplicon from the DNA of strain 05ZYH33 only. These observations demonstrated that the PAI homologue of strain 05ZYH33 is absent in the United States isolates tested and suggested that the PCR method may be useful for active surveillance to monitor possible spread of the highly invasive strain.
