A duplex real-time RT-PCR assay for the simultaneous genogroup-specific detection of noroviruses in both clinical and environmental specimens.
Article in Virus genes, 2011. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 papers.
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.
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
Norovirus (NoV) is the major etiological agent causing foodborne and waterborne outbreaks worldwide. We developed a novel duplex real-time quantitative RT-PCR assay designed for the simultaneous detection of and discrimination between NoV genogroups GI and GII, by targeting the short junction region between ORF1 and ORF2, with sensitivity and efficiency comparable to those of each simplex RT-PCR assay. This new duplex assay was evaluated against clinical stool (n = 82) and environmental (groundwater or surface water, n = 60) specimens from South Korea, and the results were compared with those of conventional RT-PCR (cRT-PCR) assays. The duplex assay detected more positive samples than did the cRT-PCR for both clinical (74 vs. 71) and, more strikingly, environmental (24 vs. 10) specimens. No cross-reactivity against specimens containing other enteric viruses such as rotavirus, adenovirus, and poliovirus were observed. These results suggest that this newly developed duplex real-time RT-PCR assay can be used for the sensitive and simultaneous genogroup-specific detection of NoV in both clinical and environmental specimens.
