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

Several molecular systems for direct detection of Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex (MTBC) have recently been developed. The GenoQuick MTB assay (GQ-MTB) used in this study detected 82 of the 96 (85.4%) samples with MTBC, including 50 of 64 (78.1%) samples with negative acid-fast bacillus smears. Fifteen samples containing nontuberculous mycobacteria were also studied: 13 were GQ-MTB negative, one was positive, and one was indeterminate. GQ-MTB showed good effectiveness for the direct detection of MTBC from clinical samples.
