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

We have developed a new research assay that combines sequence-specific sample preparation and isothermal amplification for the detection of Chlamydia trachomatis and Neisseria gonorrhoeae infections. The assay targets both the omp gene and the cryptic plasmid of C. trachomatis and the multicopy opa gene of N. gonorrhoeae, which are amplified and detected in a single reaction. We evaluated the ability of the assay to detect C. trachomatis and N. gonorrhoeae infections in first-catch urine, swab, and liquid-based cytology samples. Total agreement between the new assay and APTIMA Combo 2 varied between 95.3% and 100%, depending on the sample type and target detected. Total agreement between the new assay and BD ProbeTec varied between 96.7% and 100%, depending on the sample type and target detected. The assay has a simple work flow, and endpoint results can be achieved in 3 h, including sample preparation. The assay described here was evaluated for research use and was compared to commercially available assays.
