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

Multiple locus variable number of tandem repeats (VNTR) analysis (MLVA) has been shown to provide a high level of information for epidemiological investigations and the follow-up of Pseudomonas aeruginosa chronic infection. In the present study, an automatized MLVA assay has been developed for the analysis of 16 VNTRs in two multiplex polymerase chain reactions (PCRs), followed by capillary electrophoresis. The result in the form of a code is directly usable for clustering analyses. This MLVA-16(Orsay) scheme was applied to the genotyping of 83 isolates from eight cystic fibrosis patients, demonstrating that the same genotype persisted during eight years of chronic infection in the majority of cases. Comparison with pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE) analysis showed that both methods were congruent, MLVA providing, in some cases, additional informativity. The evolution of strains during long-term infection was revealed by the presence of VNTR variants.
